Answer:

The options:

A. Reptiles have teeth with which to defend their eggs from predators, so they do not need to hide the eggs.

B. Reptiles have no feathers and cannot cushion the eggs from bumping into each other without them.

C. Reptiles are ectotherms and cannot raise their body temperature above that of the environment.

D. Reptile eggs are not amniotic and have no shell, so sitting on them would crush them.

The CORRECT ANSWER IS C.

C. Reptiles are ectotherms and cannot raise their body temperature above that of the environment.

Birds are well known endothermic homeotherms, and keep to a single body temperature. In comparison to reptiles which are ectothermic poikilotherms, that have its body temperature heavily reliant on the temperature of its surroundings environment.

20. Geneticists creating the "glow in the dark" or fluorescent rabbit, inserted the GFP gene
juin [17]

The correct answer is C) the fluorescent cells can help track the movement of cells.

Explanation:

In the last years, geneticists and scientists created animals that glow in the dark by inserting a Green Fluorescent Protein or GFP gene found in some species of jellyfish. This protein was used in animals such as rabbits, rats, and even chickens. One of the key reasons for this is that by inserting fluorescence scientists can better observe the development and movement of cells. This includes analyzing cells reproduction and growing in embryos of "glowing" animals or inserting the protein in specific cells or organs in an organism to observe how these change or move. Thus, the purpose of studying fluorescent rabbits is that "the fluorescent cells can help track the movement of cells".

Why was miasma theory replaced?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Miasma theory was replaced because John Snow collected data that showed that germs cause disease.

Explanation:

The theory of miasma was proposed in the past when some scientists —like doctors Thomas Sydenham and Giovanni Maria Lancisi— thought that disease was the product of emanations originated by the decomposition of organic matter. This theory was based on the fact that diseases predominated in places with poor hygienic conditions.

John Snow, an english physician, was one of the main contributors to the <u>microbial theory of disease</u>. In 1854, while a cholera epidemic was occurring, he collected data and organized it statistically and then concluded that the disease was caused by germs present in drinking water. This <u>data was contrary to the miasma theory, which would eventually be displaced by the microbial theory of the disease</u>.
