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.

why would shuffling genetic material to produce new combinations of characteristics be advantageous to a species?
Radda [10]

Answer:

Suffling of genetic material increases genetic variation in offspring which is important for evolution.

Explanation:

Genetic shuffling or genetic recombination helps in the formation of new trait combinations which increase the genetic variation in the population and this genetic variation is very much important for the evolution of species.

In sexual reproduction, the genetic shuffling occurs during the formation of gametes when the two homologous chromosomes exchange their genetic material with each other. This increase variation in gametes.

Fusion of two different gametes in sexual reproduction also helps in increasing the genetic variation in the offspring.

The term ____________________ means the lack of muscle coordination during voluntary movement.
tia_tia [17]

The term <u>Ataxia</u> means the lack of muscle coordination during voluntary movement.

  • Poor muscle control that results in awkward voluntary movements is known as ataxia.
  • It might make it difficult to move your eyes, speak, or walk steadily. It might also make it hard to coordinate your hands.
  • Ataxia is typically caused by injury to the cerebellum, which regulates muscular coordination, or its connections.
  • Ataxia is typically brought on by damage to the cerebellum, a region of the brain, although it can also be brought on by injury to the spinal cord or other nerves.
  • The spinal cord, which extends the length of the spine and connects the brain to every other part of the body, is a lengthy bundle of nerves.
