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.

  • Coal
  • Crude oil
  • Natural gas

Question 5

  • Heart diseases ; ischaemic heart diseases can lead to failure of the heart when it does not receive enough oxygen from the environment. Air pollution contaminates available oxygen in the atmosphere and this is very dangerous to life.
  • Lung cancer: poor air quality can lead to the development of cancerous tumor in the lungs.
  • Asthma: air pollution is one of the leading cause of asthma.

Other notable mentions are bronchitis, pulmonary diseases, stroke

Question 6

_7 million____ people die each year from air pollution according to the world health organization

Question 7

Air Quality Index(AQI) is an indicator used to express the quality of air in particular area. The AQI can tell the present air quality condition. It can also be used to forecast future air quality in years to come.

It shows how clean and polluted the air is.

Question 8

The air quality index uses different colors to alert people about the quality of air. Each color represents different health implication of air quality:

     Attached image shows the different colors used to alert people of about the air quality.

Question 9
