The evolution of wings and the ability to move by flying is a unique adaptation of insects among all protostomes. During the pre-adaptation, their wings might held the respiratory structures for greater exchange of gases or it function as a protective shields over their leg joints.

Moreover, like dragonflies that are unable to tuck their wings when at rest, the next evolutionary burst is the foldable wings they have. These insects includes locusts and stoneflies.

I think it is the ability to move by flying. Protostomes are one of the two groups of animals having a true body cavity (coelom) and are believed to share a common ancestor. They include the mollusks, annelids, and arthropods. In this animals the blastopore becomes the mouth. Other characteristics include, they have true tissues, they have bilateral symmetry, and that the mouth develop before the anus in during embryonic development.

Answer:

Option 3, Chromatids remain attached to one another until anaphase

Explanation:

Centromere lies at the center, end or other points of the chromosome and joins the two sister chromatids. During cell division, the spindle fibers attaches at the centromere and detaches the chromosomes during the anaphase of the cell division to ensure that each daughter cell gets equal number of chromosomes at the end of mitosis. Centromere plays an essential role in the separation of chromosomes.

Hence, option 3 is correct

Why might having an excretory system that excretes urine be a disadvantage in a desert environment? how can desert animals overc

Pani-rosa [81]

<span>In a desert, water is in scarce supply, so excreting water would be a bad thing and might cause the death of any animal that does so due to dehydration. There can be several different mechanisms to overcome this. One would be to have the bladder discharge urine into the large intestine where the water can then be reabsorbed into the body while the urea in the urine is passed out along with other solid wastes produced by digestion. Some other methods of conserving water would be for the kidneys to extract more water from the urine leaving the urine fairly concentrated. Also animals may behave in manners that conserve water such as staying in the shade during the day and only being active at night.</span>
