Answer:

The correct answer is D: "<em>Apes have a Y-5 pattern of cusps, whereas Old World monkeys have a bilophodont pattern</em>".

Explanation:

Apes and old world monkeys only have four kinds of teeth: <em>two incisors, one canine, two premolars, and three molars</em>. This dental formula is 2.1.2.3.

The old world monkeys characterize for having molars with four cusps joined by ridges. They have bilophodont teeth with better crushing, shearing and wearing capabilities than apes.  

Apes´molars have 5 cusps, a Y-shaped space between those raised points, and no transverse lophs. These characteristics are known as the Y-5 pattern.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Scientist 1

Explanation:

<em>The conclusion of scientists 1 is valid.</em>

Human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, deforestation, etc. leads to the emission of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. <em>An increase in the population of a city will only lead to an increase in these activities and hence, an increase in the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere.</em>

Also, volcanic activities leads to the production of volcanic gases which is a mixture of carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, etc.

<u>However, an active volcano that is several miles away from the city might not be a major source of carbon in the air above a large city. The carbon dioxide produced from such volcanic activity thins out before reaching the city.</u>

How can organism's be so unique if the nucleotides making up DNA are all the same between organism's?​
Masja [62]

Every organism is unique, even though the nucleotides making up DNA are all the same, because the structure is different in every organism. In other words, it's just the order in which nucleotides are placed that differs each organism from one another.
