Answer:

The fossil record supports a "biological" type of evidence.

Explanation:

<u>Fossils-</u> this refers to the <em>remains of prehistoric organism.</em><em> </em>It provides a trace of a <em><u>once-living plant, animal or organism. </u></em>

When it comes to evolution, fossils provide a biological type of evidence. This means that,<u><em> it shows how organism have greatly changed from the past.</em></u> When you study fossil records, you can compare it with the animal, plant or human structure nowadays. You can compare them side-by-side. So, you'd get that idea on how prehistoric things lived in the past and how they evolved up to the present day or became extinct.

<em>Most of the fossils can be found on sedimentary rocks.</em> You can also tell their ages according to which layer they belong. It is said that older layers consist of older fossils and they appear at the bottom while younger layers consist of younger fossils and they appear on top.

Which factor does not greatly influence the rate of
jonny [76]

Answer:

a. transcription

Explanation:

<em>Sugar transport in phloem is referred to as pressure flow and it involves the movement of sugar through the phloem vascular tissue from the regions where sugar is synthesized (by photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant's body that require sugar.</em>

The parts of plants where sugar is synthesized (usually the leaf) is known as sugar source while the parts where they are transported is referred to as the source. Sources are usually areas of of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure while sinks are usually areas of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure.

<em>Hence, sugar transport in the phloem can be said to be influenced by the rate of sugar production at the source (rate of photosynthesis), turgor pressure as well as sugar concentration in sinks and sources.</em>

The only option that has no known effect on sugar transport in the phloem is transcription.

The correct option is a.

From which part of the pituitary are hypothalamic hormones such as antidiuretic hormone (adh) and oxytocin released?
tatyana61 [14]
<span>The correct answer is posterior pituitary.</span>

ADH (AntiDiuretic Hormone) or Vasopressin is a peptide hormone which is produced in the hypothalamus. ADH is released from vesicles inside the cells of posterior pituitary into the circulation. ADH is released as a response of hyperosmolality of extracellular fluid. It increases the reabsorption of water in kidneys and constricts the blood vessels.

Oxytocin is also peptide hormone produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. It has a role in sexual reproduction.
