The right answer is evolved from past organisms

Darwin's theory is a theory about the evolution of species. According to him, the animal and vegetable species had to change to survive, adapting to the variations of their environment. Only those who survive to have descendants, this is called natural selection.

So evolution is a scientific theory that focuses on these species and explains the mechanisms of their appearance from existing or past species.

Where do preganglionic neurons synapse with postganglionic neurons in the sympathetic nervous system?.
FinnZ [79.3K]

Preganglionic axons synapse at the sympathetic chain ganglia with a postganglionic neuron. The postganglionic neuron then leaves the sympathetic chain ganglia through a gray ramus communicans (unmyelinated axons) and reenters the spinal nerve and travels to the skin and blood vessels throughout the body.

katrin2010 [14]
The continental shelf is a gently sloping feature found at the edge of a continental landmass going seaward from the coast. Rivers that empty into the sea can produce currents that are strong enough to erode the material that builds the shelf. When this occurs channels or submarine canyons are formed. These canyons are deep and dark as no light can penetrate these regions. The canyons often lead out to sea towards the edge of the shelf.
