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.

Answer:

Explanation:

Although yeast is a one-celled fungus, most fungi are multicellular organisms. Fungi are eukaryotes, meaning they have a cell nucleus. Like plants, fungi have cell walls and do not move on their own. Unlike plants, however, fungi cannot produce their own food because they do not have chloroplasts.

Jordan uses a high power objective to observe a specimen under a light microscope. What should he use to focus
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
Since Jordan needs to use the high power objective in order to view the specimen under the light microscope. He should use the ocular lens in order to view the high power objective which is placed in the objective lenses. So he needs to use the ocular lens for viewing and the objective lens to magnify and see the specimen clearly on the stage.

When a neuron is activated by a stimulus, its plasma membrane will change until it reaches a membrane potential of about 40 mV.
grandymaker [24]

Answer: It is approximately the membrane potential at which the electrochemical gradient for Na+ is zero.

Explanation:

The charge in plasma membrane occurs with diffusion and electric fields.

For example, if there are two solutions, let's assume solution X and Solution Y are separated by a porous barrier (to diffuse in equal proportions).

The fundamental principle of diffusion states that solution from a high concentration diffuses to a lower concentration.

For instance, if the X solution contains 40 sodium ions and 40 chloride ions, the Y solution only has 30 sodium and 30 chloride ions. Due to the diffusion, these two solutions will mix and reach a steady-state.

The like charges repel, and opposite charges attract.
