Stels [109]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer is the 2nd picture: the coccyx bone in humans.

Explanation:

Vestigial Structure:

Structures or anatomical features that do not currently serve a function is the bodily processes of a living organism. Vestiges are believed to have performed active functions in the organism's ancestors throughout its evolutionary history.

Coccyx Bone:

The coccyx or tailbone is an evolutionary remnant of our tree dwelling ancestors. Coccyx has no use in modern humans as we do not need to climb trees.

The coccyx in modern humans serves as an anchor for muscles.

Based on this information what is the likely relationship between common garter snakes and rough-skinned newts
SVEN [57.7K]

The relationship between the garter snakes and rough-skinned newts is their evolutionary race.

Grater snakes are resistant to the TTX (the toxin of the rough-skinned newts).

TTX-resistant snakes (resistance was formed via mutation) cause natural selection to favor ever-more poisonous newts (so they can survive), and the “new” newts drive selection for higher resistance in snakes.

noah created a model of a glacier to help explain how glaciers change the surface of Earth. He froze two large blocks of ice. On
erastova [34]

Answer: The model is depicting the glacier erosion.

Explanation:

The glaciers are responsible for causing erosion of the earth. They transport the materials away from the locations were they are earlier situated. They carve the materials present beneath the land. They erode the materials like soil, pebbles, boulders, against the pressure of the unstable mass of the ice moving down the slope. The broken ice mass carriers away the broken rocks, materials and soil debris far away from the places where they have been originally situated. This causes the glacial erosion. Also the broken and displaced rocks displace the soil and other materials come in contact with during erosion.

According to the given situation, the ice formed with water only had no impact on the tinfoil on the other hand the ice containing the sand and rocks removed the tinfoil from places. This is because of the friction created by the sand and rocks on the tinfoil. The glacier material like ice, soil, rocks due to friction erode the material come in contact with it with an appreciable pressure underneath.
