Ostriches don’t use their wings for flight, but they do use them for other functions, such as mating rituals and balance. Many a

ncestors of ostriches did fly. What can you conclude about ostrich behavior from this information?
A)Ostriches inherited the genes for wings from their ancestors, even though the function of these structures changed.
B)Ostriches developed mutations in their wings to willfully adapt to their current environment.
C)Ostriches lack a close evolutionary relationship with these ancestral birds.
DIn the near future, ostriches will have no wings because they have no need for them.

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.

Pick the a.b.c below.<br><br>a. 8 grass/m2<br>b. 16 grass/m2<br>c. 24 grass/m2<br>d. 32 grass/m2​
Nataly [62]

Answer:

16grass/m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of grasses in quadrat = 4

Area of the square  = 0.25m²

Unknown:

Population density  = ?

Solution:

Population density is the number of organisms per given area;

  Population density  = \frac{number of grasses}{area of quadrat}  

 Population density  = \frac{4}{0.25}   = 16grass/m²

Answer:

The geosphere or geosphere is the internal and solid part of the Earth that is composed of three concentric layers called crust, mantle and nucleus. Without the geosphere, human beings cannot live on the planet, since there is no solid ground. In the Earth's geosphere are rocks, minerals, magma, sand and mountains.

This layer interacts with the other layers of the earth system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, and is in a state of constant motion; Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks within the Earth's geosphere undergo continuous recycling.

It is said that the Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago from the collision of meteoric debris that created the solar system. Due to the constant collisions during its formation, the initial temperature of the planet was extremely high; It was all molten matter.

But during the next phase of Earth's formation there was a cooling, and with it, the differentiation of the Earth's layers. Dense materials sank in the center, forming a core rich in iron and nickel. The lighter magma rose to the surface, forming the thickest layer of the Earth called the mantle.

Eventually, the outermost magma cooled to form the thin layer we call Earth's crust.

Verdich [7]
The answer is THE SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. 
The somatic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system. It is major function is voluntary movement of the muscles and organs and reflex movement. During the processing of voluntary movement, sensory neurons which transmit information about sight, smell, sound, taste and tactile information carry impulses to the brain and the spinal cord.
