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.
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.
In adults aged 20 and older, the average daily vitamin K intake from foods is 122 mcg for women and 138 mcg for men. When both foods and supplements are considered, the average daily vitamin K intake increases to 164 mcg for women and 182 mcg for men.
The answer to this statement is true. It is because the size
the total amount of the DNA that it contains makes up the size of the genome.
Therefore, the size of the genome determines the information that it contains
such as the DNA.
The body would start to shut down, reactions would become weaker and slower, you would begin to get tireder and you's slowly be dying. If no fod is onsued within 2-3 weeks, then the brain will have no nutrients and will die
Darwin could compare only the anatomy and embryos of living things. Today, scientists can compare their DNA. Similar DNA sequences are the strongest evidence for evolution from a common ancestor.
