In many hairy vertebrates, such as apes, dogs, and rats, the involuntary erection of hair acts as an efficient means of thermore

gulation. The erect hairs trap an insulating layer of air against the skin, keeping the animal warm. Humans also display hair erection when cold, though humans are not hairy enough for this reflex to have a significant effect on body temperature. Which statement is true regarding this reflex?
1) It reflects the common ancestry of humans with hairy vertebrates.
2) It suggests humans are less evolved than other hairy vertebrates, because they are not adapted to maintain body temperature.
3) The loss of hairy bodies is an evolutionary disadvantage to humans.
4) The reflex is actually a voluntary response humans manifest during infancy.

Answer:

It reflects the common ancestry of humans with hairy vertebrates.

Explanation:

Evolution is the change in the species with the passage of time. Some species might get extinct and some species might develop the advance character during the evolutionary process.

The evolutionary history of the organisms can be classified on the basis of the paleontological or molecular evidence. The two groups of the organisms can share a common ancestor if they have some similar features with each other. In the given question, it can be concluded that hairy vertebrates and human might have the common ancestor.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

shusha [124]

Answer:

Some species are similar in structure because they are evolved from the same ancestors while some differences are also present in them due to the changes occurs in the body because of adaptation to environmental conditions.

Grizzly bears and sea otters have canine teeth because canine teeth are used to crushing hard food materials such as fishes and shells.

Explanation:

Canine teeth are present in the grizzly bear and sea otters due to eating of food materials which are hard. Canine teeth used to crush the food materials.

solong [7]

ANSWER:

Brain cells that are neither neurons nor glia, but which are capable of dividing and then differentiating into neurons or glia, are called NEURAL STEM CELLS.

EXPLANATION:

Neural stem cells are undifferentiated cells originating in the central nervous system.

Neural stem cells (NSCs) have the potential to give rise to the radial glial progenitor cells that grow and differentiate into neurons and glial cells.

NSCs have an important role during development producing the enormous diversity of neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in the developing CNS.

A NEURON (nerve cell) is a specialized cell that conveys electrochemical impulses throughout the body.

provide support for and insulation between them.

GLIAL CELLS are the most abundant cell types in the central nervous system. Types of glial cells include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, Schwann cells, microglia, and satellite cells.

melomori [17]
After seeing the attached picture represented above, it has become more clear and I think that the best explanation for why the onion cells do not burst, while red blood cells often do, is that t<span>he red blood cells have only a cell membrane, which does not protect them from bursting. The main point which makes difference between two parts of picture is that one of the cells has protective membrane.
Hope you will find it helpful.
