Answer:

Although they are not closely related, as vertebrate animals, they share some characteristics and belong to the same Phylum.

Explanation:

Tigers and goldfish belong to different Classes. Tigers (Panthera tigris) belong to the Class Mammalia, while goldfish (Carassius auratus) belong to the Class Actinopterygii. However, they both belong to the Phylum Chordata.

Chordates share particular characteristics, such as a dorsal neural tube, a notochord, a bilateral symmetry, circulatory system, amongst other features. They are divided into different groups of vertebrates as well: mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. And, according to evolutionionary studies, over 300 million years ago, the first vertebrates that lived on land (amphibians) evolved from a lobe-finned fish species, which eventually led to the evolution of mammals that adapted to terrestrial environments.

Therefore, even though goldfish and tigers may seem completely different, they share similar characteristics. Plus, they are vertebrates that belong to the same phylum.

The modern synthesis concept came in the early 20th century when the studies were going on Mendel's theory and the evolutionary aspects. The concept led to the formation of new concepts like the macroevolution, microevolution and the evolution affected by mutation of genes.

Thus, Option-B is correct.

How does the human eye interpret optical illusions.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Humans see optical illusions when the visual system (the eyes and the brain) attempts to interpret an image that evokes a perception that deviates from reality. Your brain displays an image that makes the most “sense,” but it is not always what is actually in front of our eyes.

Oksanka [162]

GM foods should be labeled in food stores. If, for example, someone wanted to buy a GM Apple, which could be enriched in chemicals, that should be labeled different than a regular apple. What if someone was allergic to some of the modifications in that apple. If there was a label on that apple, that person would not get a allergic reaction. That is why GM products should be labeled.
