Why do adult urochordates (tunicates) lack notochords, even though larval urochordates have them? Larvae use notochords to _____

.
A) aid in swimming; adults are sessile and thus no longer propel themselves.
B) stiffen their bodies; in adults, the notochord is replaced by a column of bone.
C) induce tissue differentiation; in adults, tissue is already differentiated.
D) organize their nervous systems; adults' nervous systems are fully developed and do not change.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

A tunicate is marine invertebrate animal  which is a part of chordates. They have notochords and dorsal nerve chord. The subphylum of the organism is called as Urochordata.

The adult urochordates lack notochord but the larval stage of the urochordates have notochord. This is because it helps in swimming of the organism which is required only at the larval stage.

The adult stage of the tunicates is sessile and they do not swim so they do not require notochord.

Which of the following can be determined directly from X-ray diffraction photographs of crystallized DNA?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

A) the diameter of the helix

Explanation:

This is was measured during  the 3D  structure of DNA proposed by James Waston and Francis Crick in 1953. The x-ray  diffraction showed crossed shape of the X-ray films.The DNA appeared as two double strands structure.

The diameter of the DNA double helix is 20 Armstrong.

This  diameter is constant  because of the complementary pairing of bases.( purines with pyrimidines)

Cerrena [4.2K]

It should be noted that the amount if sunlight or the mean temperature isn't the appropriate data that's useful in this case. Therefore, the correct option is D.
