Which of the following statements is true about Tiktaalik?
yawa3891 [41]

Tiktaalik is a transitional fossil which shows how fish evolved into amphibians and reptiles. So the correct option is B.

What is Tiktaalik?

Tiktaalik is a direct ancestor of tetrapods or four-legged animals. It is an extinct fish-like animal and it lived on earth 380-385 million years ago (Devonian period).

The word Tiktaalik is derived from the <em>Inuktitut</em> language which loosely translates to large freshwater fish. This animal had characteristics of both fish and tetrapod and is therefore called the link between these two kinds of animals.

The characters resembling fish are gills and scales and the characters resembling tetrapods are rib bones, movable neck and lungs. There are characters that are a mix of both tetrapods and fish. These are bones and joints in limbs but fish-like fins instead of feet or hands.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

It is a seeded vascular plant.

It does not depend on insect pollination.

Explanation:

The complete question is: <em>A scientist has discovered a new plant species in the Amazon rainforest. She tells her fellow scientists that the plant she has found produces a cone. What might they say about how this plant is different from an angiosperm? Its seeds have one or two cotyledons. Its stems' vascular bundles are scattered. It does not depend on insect pollination. It is a seeded vascular plant. </em>

<em />

<em>The correct option would be that the plant is a seeded vascular plant and does not depend on insect pollination.</em>

Gymnosperms are the only group of plants that produce cones. They are one of the plant groups that have vascular tissues in the form of xylem and phloem as well as been able to produce seed in the form fo cones. Hence, they are said to be seeded vascular plants.

Gymnosperms also carry out their pollination by relying solely on wind for the transfer of their pollen grain to the female organ. In other words, they do not depend on insect for pollination.
