The correct answer is - She observed a fossil with skeletal structures similar to certain modern organisms.

The scientists was able to come to the conclusion that certain organisms have common ancestor because she was able to study and see the skeletal structures of extinct species and compare them with modern day species, and they had a big resemblance.

The skeletal structure is something that needs a lot of time to change, millions of years. Even then, the basics of the structure will be the same, with the further modifications in place on top of it. It is something that is very useful when comparing extinct species and modern day species, as it can give a nice clue about their connection and common ancestry.

The cats for example, the modern day ones and the first ones that appeared, have almost the same bone structure, where even a trained eye finds it hard to find a difference, and that is a very nice clue about tracing the ancestry.

Identify the type of neuronal cell that detects bright light and provides high-resolution color vision.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is b. cones.

Explanation:

Cones and rods are specialized cells, called photoreceptor cells, that are found in the retina and are responsible for our vision.

Cones, allow to the human eye to have a visual acuity (ability of the eye to resolve, transmit sharp images and perceive small details in an object) and provide sensitivity to the color, are more concentrated in the central yellow spot known as the macula.

There are three different types of cones in color reception: "L cones" (sensitive to long wavelength, which is red), "M cones" (sensitive to medium wavelength, which is green) and "S cones" (sensitive to short wavelength, which is blue). Since color perception depends on the activation of these three types of nerve cells, it follows that the visible color can be determined based on three numbers called triestimulus values.

The rods are necessary for the perception of light and darkness and to adapt to night vision, because they are very sensitive to low intensity light. On the contrary, they become completely blind to bright light and, therefore, lack importance with regard to daytime vision or visual acuity.

Which is the final electron receptor in the electron transport system of cellular respiration
Zepler [3.9K]

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, which allows for oxidative phosphorylation. Without oxygen, the electrons will be backed up, eventually causing the electron transport chain to halt.
