Pigs are more closely related to the human than birds and fishes.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Development of brain is a very interesting and important marker to evaluate evolutionary relationships between the species. Brain is most complex organ of an animal's body and with evolution, it becomes more and more complex.

If we see into fish brain, we will see more simpler structures with only 10 cranial nerves. But with evolution as the birds came, it was more complex. But it was nowhere near with humans.

With the pigs, we can relate the level of complexity and the structures of brain along with the skull to cranium ratio much matching with that of humans.

So pigs are much more related to humans than others.

This is also evident that although all are chordates, the fishes belong to class Pices, birds to Class Aves and both pig and human to class Mammalia.

Answer:

a. This is actually a case of frequency-dependent selection. With too many cheaters in a population, the fruiting body's stalk is not built well, and all individuals have lower fitness.

Explanation:

Frequency dependent selection is a process in evolution whereby the

a gene, genotype or phenotype varies depend on the percentage of that gene, genotype or phenotype that is present in the population.

There are two types of frequency dependent selection:

a. Positive frequency dependent selection.

b. Negative frequency dependent selection.

Select all that apply. What characteristics do mutations have?

Vinil7 [7]

Well mutations can be a positive or a negative feature. Some mutations can be used as a camouflage so stay safe from predators. Other mutation could give off a bright color which would make it hard to stay hidden from predators.

What are the parts of the animal cell and what do they do please help im in urgent need for real

nignag [31]

The components of animal cells are centrioles, cilia and flagella, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, microfilaments, microtubules, mitochondria, nucleus, peroxisomes, plasma membrane and ribosomes.The centrosomes is where microtubules are made. During cell division (mitosis), the centrosome divides and the two parts move to opposite sides of the dividing cell. The centriole is the dense center of the centrosome. cytoplasm - the jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located. Thats what i found when i researched about animal cells. Hope this helps, I put what i know and reaserched the rest.
