Answer:

B. polyphyletic group

Explanation:

Polyphyletic group is a taxon which comprises of organisms which are unrelated and do not share a recent or immediate common ancestor. Polyphyletic group is often used to refer to a group of organisms with similar characteristics called homoplasies, but not inherited from  a common ancestor. This means that the organisms are of multiple origins irrespective of the traits that make them similar.

Therefore, from the question, because we do not consider ourselves fish, we would describe the group "fish" as polyphyletic.

Hello there! How are you doing? I am doing fine! I'll answer the question now.

So basically, one major <em><u>similarity</u></em> water and wind both do to change rocks and soil over time is that both water and wind erode and weather it. <em><u>Weathering</u></em> is the breaking down process while <em><u>eroding</u></em> is to be transported to another location. Now one <u><em>difference</em></u> that the two have is how they erode and weather certain rocks and soil. With weathering and eroding <u><em>wind</em></u> pushes against rock and over a long time its starts to break down, then that same wind transports it elsewhere. With water, say the ocean, it pushes on the rock and breaks it down over time for weathering, and with eroding it just moves it through oceans, lakes, and anywhere else, through precipitation too.  

Hope this helped! Your welcome! I can help with other stuff too! Byee!

Predict what would happen if we had no system of lymphatic vessels, and tissue fluid was moved directly back into the circulator
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

If there was no system of lymphatic vessels, there would be no drainage of excess fluid from the tissues and the lymphatic fluid would accumulate in the tissues, causing them to swell.

Explanation:

The lymphatic vessel is made up of tiny vessels that are closed at one end and can be found in the spaces in the cells, except the central nervous system and the non-vascular tissues.

The main function of the lymphatic vessel is to move lymph which is a fluid that contains infection-fighting white blood cells to every part of the body.

So, if there was no system of lymphatic vessels, and tissue fluid was moved directly back into the circulatory system throughout the body. the lymphatic fluid would accumulate in the tissues, causing them to swell.

Describe how you would use the yeast-two-hybrid technique to find the proteins that interact with a liver-specific receptor prot
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Yeast-two-hybrid technique is one of the most important molecular technique that can be used to study the interactions at the molecular level. The interactions between the protein and DNA-protein  interaction can be studied by this technique.

If the individual wants to study the liver liver-specific receptor protein then yeast-two-hybrid technique can be applied. The interested protein that can acts as prey and bait proteins must be covalently linked with the other third protein known as the reporter protein.  Then the activity of the reporter protein is studied with the interactions of the prey and bait protein.
