blondinia [14]3 years ago

Bony fish belong to Class Osteichthyes, while cartilaginous fish belong to Class Chondrichthyes. Bony fish have a bony skeleton, while cartilaginous fish have one composed mostly of cartilage. Bony fish have body coverings of scales, while cartilaginous fish are covered with dendritical projections (think shark skin).
Bony fish are found in fresh and salt water; cartilaginous fish are found only in salt water. Bony fish have gills covered by an operculum; cartilaginous fish have gill slits. Bony have no eyelids; the cartilaginous fish do. Bony fish have an air-filled swim bladder; cartilaginous fish have an oil-filled liver to keep them bouyant. Hope this helps! Whew!

The answer is the origin of replication. This is where the replication bubble is formed. Two opposite replication forks (Y-shaped regions) of DNA are formed when the double helix is unzipped by DNA helicases. Transcription factors, polymerase III and primer then bind to the region to begin transcription.

What happens when a lineage splits into two or more lines of descent
kupik [55]

Answer;

B. Speciation

Explanation;

-Speciation is how a new kind of plant or animal species is created. Speciation occurs when a group within a species separates from other members of its species and develops its own unique characteristics.

-The demands of a different environment or the characteristics of the members of the new group will differentiate the new species from their ancestors.

-An example of speciation is the Galápagos finch. Different species of these birds live on different islands in the Galápagos archipelago, located in the Pacific Ocean off South America. The finches are isolated from one another by the ocean.
