The correct answer is option C, An organism experienced punctuated equilibrium and rapidly evolved into another organism entirely

The biologist and geologist have not been able to identify the cause of sudden appearance and disappearance of an organism in the fossil record. They then coined the term punctuated equilibrium which supports the concept of lack of information regarding the changing fossil records. The punctuated equilibrium believes that evolution happened suddenly in a very short duration. There are lot of missing links regarding the transitional forms of any evolving organisms which now is used to support sudden appearance of an organism in the fossil record

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Cephalocaudal

Explanation:

The cephalocaudal principle is known as the general process of physical and motoric development which take place from infancy into toddlerhood and at times at early childhood of which development obeys a head-to-toe progression.

Cephalocaudal is a word that connotes head to toe. Therefore, the cephalocaudal principle is stated as the overall process of development observed in the first set of years in postnatal development majorly with the period from infancy into toddlerhood.

The cephalocaudal principle has to do with both physical and functional development. On the basis of the earliest (i.e., physical development), physical growth in size, weight, and feature differentiation obey this process or form of development. The signs of this is well observed in a contrast of the physical characteristics of an infant In contrast to a toddler. In consideration of the latter, the head is mostly disproportionately big in contrast to the other parts of the body. By the time the preschool years is over for most children, it is well noticed that most must have done away with this top heavy appearance just as seen in our question.

~~9. what are the haploid reproductive structures of fungi called? (1 point)
Katarina [22]
The correct answer is the spores. Fungi reproduce asexually by budding, fragmentation, or spore production. Fragments of hyphae can grow new colonies. Mycelial fragmentation occurs when a fungal mycelium separates into pieces with each component growing into a separate mycelium. Spores are usually haploid and unicellular and are produced by meiosis in the sporangium of a diploid sporophyte.
