What evidence suggests that vertebrates are more closely related to echinoderms than are any other invertebrate phyla?

Biology

Answer:

Option C, shared DNA sequences

Explanation:

Complete question -

What evidence suggests that vertebrates are more closely related to echinoderms than are any other invertebrate phyla?  

- shared patterns of development

- shared morphology

- shared DNA sequences

Solution

Vertebrates have true backbone while invertebrates lack true backbone. Among the invertebrates, the echinoderm phylum is closely related to vertebrates as the echinoderm possesses notochord (similar to backbone) during their early stage development which disappears later.  

Through the genomic sequence studies it has been found that echinoderms are similar to vertebrates in many ways. Echinoderms have diverged from deuterostomes along with human and hence pose some genetic similarity  which can be devised through study of common DNA sequences

Hence, option C is correct

Why is the weight of an object more on Earth than on the Moon?
MissTica

The correct answer is:

Gravitational pull is greater on earth . As weight = mass × g so we have more weights on earth than on moon.

Explanation:

This is because gravitational force is immediately proportional to the mass of an object. Greater the mass, greater will be the gravitational force exerted by it and thus, more will be our weight. As the moon has secondary mass than the earth, it has a lighter gravitational influence and hence, we weigh less on the moon.

What type of blood does the pulmonary artery transport?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The pulmonary artery carries oxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. The blood here passes through capillaries adjacent to alveolar and becomes oxygenated as part of the process of respiration. In contrast to the pulmonary arteries, the bronchial arteries supply nutrition to the lungs themselves.

The cell theory eventually replaced the concept of spontaneous generation as a result of what experimental evidence?
miskamm [114]

Answer & explanation:

The cell was discovered in 1669 by the English scientist Robert Hooke when looking at a piece of tissue in a two-lens microscope. Hooke was able to visualize small cavities in the experiment piece, then naming such cell cavities.

Only a century and a half after the discovery of the cell, that the Cell Theory was launched, replacing the theory of spontaneous generation (or abiogenesis).

Before that, many scientists were already busy understanding the structure and functioning of the cell, generating knowledge that became fundamental to the development of biology, specifically cytology, a branch of science that studies the structure, functions and development of cells.

Arya observes that the grass behind her house is dry. She believes the water content in the soil is about two-thirds lower than
stealth61 [152]
So, there's five steps to the scientific method:  Identifying the problem, forming a hypothesis, doing research and collecting background data, conducting the experiment, and finally coming to a conclusion.  Arya already completed step one and two, because she sees a problem (the dry soil), and then comes up with a hypothesis, which is the water content in the soil in her yard is 2/3 lower due to the slope of her yard.  Next, she's going to have to go and collect her data!  This may include taking soil samples from her own yard and her other neighbors yard, and then measuring the slope of their yards ect. Then, she's going to take this information and put it into the experiment stage, and then she will come to her final conclusion!
