Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and gray wolves (Canis lupus) can interbreed to produce viable, fertile offspring. These species s

hared a common ancestor recently (in geologic time) and have a high degree of genetic similarity, although their anatomies vary widely. Judging from this evidence, which two species concepts are most likely to place dogs and wolves together into a single species?

Answer:

1. Biological Species Concept

2. Phylogenetic Species Concept

Explanation:

Ernst Mayr defined the species on the basis of the biological species concept. Accordingly, the organisms that are capable of interbreeding to produce fertile progeny belong to the same species.  

Since dogs and gray wolves are able to produce fertile progeny, they belong to the same species as per the biological species concept.  

According to the phylogenetic species concept, two organisms that share a recent common ancestor and exhibit certain derived traits, belong to the same species.

According to the given information, dogs and gray wolves are descended from a common ancestor and hence, belong to the same species according to the phylogenetic species concept.

Which of the following is an example of diffraction?
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer:</u>

You try to pick up a shell in the water but it isn't where it appears to be is an example of diffraction

<u>Explanation:</u>

Diffraction refers to the light bending that happens as the light passes about the edge of some object. How much bending takes place is found by the size of wavelength of light relative to that of opening. If the opening is larger than the wavelength of light, then bending will not be noticeable.

Since, light gets diffracted due to water hence the shell kept inside the water appears to be at a different position than where it actually is

Infer: what is the relationship between the evolution of bipedalism, the increase in cranial capacity, and the decrease in tooth
noname [10]
When the organism become bipedal, they walk with 2 legs so there are 2 arms that were unused. Some of them try to use that hand by grabbing stick or stone, leading to tools. They start to think more to develop tools and their brain capacity become increased.
The ability to use stone tools will help in food digestion since it can break the food easier. This reduces the needs for bigger teeth/jaw.

Which three of the following best describe what would happen if mitosis did not take place?
vaieri [72.5K]

Mitosis refers to the procedure of cell division, in which a cell goes through a carefully mediated nuclear division, which results in the production of two genetically similar daughter cells. The mitosis comprises five active stages, that is, prophase, premetaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.  

In a single-celled species like an amoeba, it is the process of mitosis by which the cells reproduce. After undergoing through the five stages of mitosis, it is via the procedure called cytokinesis, the single cell dissociates into two similar cells, thus, completing the reproduction.  

During injury, the process of mitosis takes place to substitute the damaged cells. This repair is mainly essential for the blood vessels and skin that safeguards the organs and muscles in the body. Mitosis also assists to substitute the lost blood via a wound.  

Thus, if the process of mitosis would not take place, then the organism would remain a single-cell, asexual reproduction would not take place, and the tissues of the body would not be able to repair themselves.
