Answer:

Having bacteria would produce organic molecules and defeat the whole purpose of the experiment which is to make organic molecules from inorganic molecules. The experiment was supposed to demonstrate the formation of the first organic molecules that initiated life on primordial earth. It is believed that lightning powered the formation of the first simple amino acids, like glycine, from the primordial atmosphere which was mainly composed of carbon dioxide and methane.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The answer would be: Palpate her abdomen to determine the intensity of labor contractions as they're taking place.

The electronic fetal monitor is a device that can determine the contraction level based on the pressure it reads. The device could report a wrong result if it used incorrectly(if the position is wrong or the belt is too loose). It is important to validate the device results to make sure it is not wrong.

Janelle should talk to any trusted adult for advice. I'm assuming she can't just get her local physician any time she wants to talk to them. Someone else who drinks is not reliable. The people at the party will probably drink too.

Among the characteristics unique to animals is:

padilas [110]

First question:
a. Gastrulation
Gastrulation is a phase of the embryonic development in animals. It doesn't occur in plants or any other organism. The other options can be put apart because multicellularity, sexual reproduction, and flagellated sperm are also characteristics that are present in plants, for example. Heterotrophic nutrition is something that's part of all animals as well as non green plants.

Second question:
a. Multicellularity
Synapomorphy is a shared trait that distinguishes a clade from other organisms. Choanoflagellates are considered the most close ancestors to the animals distinguishing from them by multicellularity. They are very studied with the purpose to know the mechanisms of colonies' formation and evolution to multicellular animals.

Third question:
d. Choanoflagellates
This are the most closely related living protist group. The choanoflagellates are very similar to the choanocytes of the sponges bringing them into closeness with the animals. They even aggregate in colonies, and are thought, because of all of this, to be the closest branch of single cells to that of the animals.
