When scientists discover fossils from the past, it helps us to understand the species of the present and how they have evolved over time. For example, birds are the last trace of dinosaurs, which went extinct 65 million years ago.

(I know this is a late response, but it may be helpful for future students who are on the same question.)

Bingel [31]

Complete question:

You hang a swing from a live tree branch that is roughly parallel to the ground. What will likely happen over time as the tree grows? Check All That Apply

  1. The swing will move farther away from the tree trunk.
  2. The swing will move up. away from the ground.
  3. The swing will remain in its original position.
  4. The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.

Answer:

The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.

Explanation:

The trunk or branch strangulation sadly occurs very often. When people tie a young tree with different materials, such as a rope, or a cable, or a wire, and leave it there, the leash will eventually strangulate the tree.

Strangulation occurs because the tree keeps growing, applying pressure on the leash. The vascular system is in the trunk perimeter under the crust. Through the years, the pressure increases, the trunk is even more strangulated, and the vascular system is affected. One of the first and principal effects of strangulation is the increase in the trunk or branch diameter over the leash. This diameter change is because elements of the sap can not go back to the roots and keep near the strangulation. At this point, there are two options:

  • The tree can sort this by including the leash in its tissues, surrounding and absorbing it, and keep growing normally

or

  • The vascular system is so affected that the tree can not sort this problem and so, those parts of the tree located over the leash dye.

<em>In the exposed example, it seems that the tree could make it and included the swing's ropes in the branch. </em>

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

41 chromosomes

Explanation:

Cats have a dipoid chromosome number of 38, <u>so their gametes will have half that number: an haploid number of 19 chromosomes</u>.

Rabbits have a dipoid chromosome number of 44, <u>so their gametes will have an haploid number of 22 chromosomes</u>.

When a cat gamete (n=19) joins with a rabbit gamete (n=22) to form the hybrid zygote, it will have 19+22=41 chromosomes. When it undergoes mitotic division, all its somatic cells will have 41 chromosomes.
