The answer is a sea turtle.


<span>The creature had a backbone, so it must be vertebrate. Among the vertebrates, there are no infinitive number of animals with shells. It could be only turtles. The characteristic such as a beaklike mouth without teeth supports a surmise. Limbs in the form of flippers suggest that animal must live in the water, and with such a dimensions it could live only in seas. All of these speak for the sea turtle fossil.</span>

mezya [45]

Answer:

c. wtih physically differing populations which can still successfully reproduce

Explanation:

Polytype is when a single species has many variations in its area of coverage, it is thought that they are distinct species, or when many varieties or breeds of the same species are produced, as in the Lobos, which is naturally already polypic, and many dog breeds are still bred within the subspecies Canis lupus familiaris. In other words, we can say that in a polytyp species, many individuals have very different physical characteristics, but are of the same species, so they can reproduce successfully.

By conserving energy and making energy transformations more efficient, fossil fuel use could be decreased. True or false
professor190 [17]

True

Fossil fuels like coal and petroleum takes millions of years to form. The rate of usage of fossils is not equal to its formation. As the rate of formation is slow it is important to use energy in an efficient way so that it is not consumed in a wrong way. The transformation of energy should be more efficient to avoid the wastage of energy. By doing this we can decrease the consumption of fossil fuels as it cause pollution in the environment. The burning of fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide ,and other harmful gases which is injurious to the health of people. So, the fossil fuel should be used in a decreased manner.
