I would go with A, they inherited the wings even though they don't need them today, since evolution has changed the Ostrich in some way.

The right option is; A. Ostriches inherited the genes for wings from their ancestors, even though the function of these structures changed.

From this information, what can be concluded about ostrich behavior is that ostriches inherited the genes for wings from their ancestors, even though the function of these structures changed. The wings of the ostriches are called a vestigial structure. Species inherits the genes for vestigial structures from their ancestors but these structures have lost some or all of their ancestral function. In species, the structures do not function the same way they functioned in the specie’s ancestor. This may occur due to a mutation in their genome.

What is the difference between a repressible and an inducible operon?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The primary difference between repressible and inducible systems is the result that occurs when the effector molecule binds to the repressor. ... Thus, for the trp operon , the addition of tryptophan (the effector molecule) to the E. coli environment shuts off the system because the repressors binds at the operator.

Nucleotides in rna are connected to one another in the polynucleotide chain by
Gre4nikov [31]

not sure what you mean, but I think you're talking about the bonds i suppose. Anti-parallel strands are connected by H-bonds, whereas the sugar and phosphorus are bonded by covalent phosphodiester bonds.

No system is completely closed off from its surroundings. Which represents a system that is almost completely closed?
stepladder [879]
I agree: a capped soda bottle has very limited contact with the surroundings, as it has to be relatively closed so that the gas bubbles don't escape.

The remaining options have contact either with air (A and D) or with water from the outside (B)

A client undergoes cerebral angiography for evaluation of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. which findings indicate spasm or occlusion
DerKrebs [107]

Hemiplegia, seizures, and decreased level of consciousness are the  findings which indicate spasm or occlusion of a cerebral vessel by a clot.

The spasm or occlusion of a cerebral vessel by a clot leads to symptoms similar to those of a stroke.

The subarachnoid hemorrhage may occur as a complication type of a stroke called a hemorrhagic stroke, or bleeding inside the brain.

The hemiplegia, seizures, decreased level of consciousness, aphasia, hemiparesis, and increased focal symptoms.

Therefore, nausea, vomiting, and profuse sweating suggest a delayed reaction to the contrast medium used in cerebral angiography. The difficulty in breathing or swallowing may signal a hematoma in the neck. Tachycardia, tachypnea, and hypotension suggest internal hemorrhage.
