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.

Is there a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5m/s and a car moving backwards at 5m/s
slava [35]

There is NOT a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5 m/s and a car moving backwards at 5 m/s.

Speed is just the rate of change of the position of an object. It is calculated by dividing the change in position (distance traveled) by the time it takes to move said distance.

The distance between the two points is always positive because the direction does not matter.

However, if we are looking for the velocity, the direction DOES matter. In this example, the velocity moving forwards is 5 m/s while the velocity moving backwards is -5 m/s.

In other words:

<em>Speed </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude</em>

<em>Velocity </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude </em><em>and </em><em>direction.</em>

What is recombinant dna explain how recombination dna can be used to create insulin
gavmur [86]

rDNA is using genetic cloning to form DNA molecules from different species. in this example you can make the hormone insulin by getting some of the components from one organism and getting the remainder from another organism. Specifically, Insulin has 2 amine chains, so you can get 1 amine chain from one organism, and the other from a different one. Then you can combine them and you'll get insulin.

Why would you expect an earthworm to lack an exoskeleton??
Murrr4er [49]
You would expect an earthworm to have no exoskeleton because as you see it is very flexible and soft. Organisms with such have body parts that are divided and an earthworm do not have any visible parts on them also having an exoskeleton would not allow an organism to move like an earthworm does.
