Ichthyostega is a 370-million-year-old fossil from Greenland. Ichthyostega had digits, eyes on the top of its head, and strong,

armlike bones. It also had no gills and a reduced tail. Acanthostega, Eusthenopteron, and Tiktaalik all had gills and full tails. Which organism would you place Ichthyostega closest to on this phylogenetic tree?

Answer: Closer to Acanthostega

Explanation: Phylogenetic tree is a diagram that represents evolution patterns of species. The ramification of the tree indicates how the species evoluted from a series of commom ancestor. Two species are closely related if the ancestor is closer to them. By it, it means that two species are closer if their characteristics are similar to each other. As the question stated, Ichthyostega had digits and reduced tail. Among the three others, Acanthostega has arms with digits, gills, tails and no fin.

So, in the phylogenetic tree, the branch that has acanthostega would be closer to the one with Ichthyostega, as this one is likely the descendent of the previous one.

The microscope you are coloring and labeling is what type of microscope?
ryzh [129]
<span>A light microscope uses focused light and lenses to magnify an object. Light microscopes come in several forms. (1) Simple light microscopes use a single lens to magnify an object and cannot reach high magnification just like a handheld lens whose highest clear magnification in the best conditions is 25x. (2) Compound light microscopes use two sets of lenses - an objective lens and an eye piece. This is the type of light microscope whose magnification power reaches between 1000x and 2000x.</span>

Answer:

A. Sensation

Explanation:

  • <em>A sensation</em> is a mental process (like hearing, seeing or smelling) resulting from the immediate external stimulation of a sense organ often as distinguished from a conscious awareness of the sensory process, it's a physical feeling or perception resulting from something that happens to or come into contact with the body. Considering the example given the freshly cut grass, gentle breeze and sound of children laughing are the physical feelings stimulating your nose, skin, and ears.
  • <em>Selective attention</em> is focusing on a particular object in the environment for a certain period, in your example, the subject is not specifically focusing on one thing at the time.
  • <em>Sensory adaption</em> is the reduction in sensitivity to a stimulus after constant exposure to it, in this case, the subject is nos experiencing awareness of a constant stimulus.
  • <em>Cognition</em> is the process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses. In your example, the data obtained by the subject is still not processed.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
