Answer:

The tiger's closest living relatives were previously thought to be the Panthera species lion, leopard, and jaguar.

Explanation:

Results of genetic analysis indicate that about 2.88 million years ago, the tiger and the snow leopard lineages diverged from the other Panthera species, and that both may be more closely related to each other than to the lion, leopard and jaguar. The geographic origin of the Panthera is most likely northern Central Asia or the Holarctic region. The tiger–snow leopard lineage dispersed in Southeast Asia during the Miocene.

Panthera zdanskyi is considered to be a sister taxon of the modern tiger. It lived at the beginning of the Pleistocene about two million years ago, its fossil remains were excavated in Gansu province of northwestern China. It was smaller and more "primitive", but functionally and ecologically similar to the modern tiger. It is disputed as to whether it had the striping pattern. Northwestern China is thought to be the origin of the tiger lineage. Tigers grew in size, possibly in response to adaptive radiations of prey species like deer and bovids, which may have occurred in Southeast Asia during the Early Pleistocene.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Some ways in which communicable diseases spread are by: physical contact with an infected person, such as through touch (staphylococcus), sexual intercourse (gonorrhea, HIV), fecal/oral transmission (hepatitis A), or droplets (influenza, TB) travel through the air, such as tuberculosis or measles.

Above 380C and below OoC the rate of photosynthesis decreases. Propose a hypothesis to explain why this occurs.
Effectus [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Enzyme activity decrease at these temperatures. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Photosynthesis is facilitated by the action of various enzymes and involves light and dark reactions.  In <em>light reactions chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and creates ATP AND NADPH</em>. In dark reactions carbon is fixed using the <em>ATP and NADPH. </em>

The efficiency of all these activities depends on the activity of enzymes which depends on the temperature. The optimum temperature range where the enzyme activity is optimal is about <em>10°c - 20°c</em>. At low temperatures and high temperatures enzyme activity is less efficient.

<em>At a temperature above 38°c and below  0°c enzyme activity decreases. </em>
