Answer:

D- Indicates common ancestors

Explanation:

A phylogenetic tree shows evolutionary relationships among organisms.  This tree establishes the common ancestry and divergence points of each species from the common ancestor. These relationships are not definite facts and do not show the exact time of divergence among species of common ancestry.

The pattern of branching in a phylogenetic tree shows how species or other groups evolved from a series of common ancestors.  Two species are more closely related, if their ancestral link is more recent and less closely related if their ancestral link is less recent.

A phylogenic tree, uses branches to establish the relationships between common ancestors and species, each branch point, indicating common ancestry among offspring.  The farther the branch points from the common ancestor and other members of the species, the farther the relationship among them.

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

A phylogenetic tree is a brach diagram that shows the relationship among species of organisms in a taxa base on their differences and similarities of physical characteristics and genetic characters indicating common ancestors.

The tips of the tree represent descendents of the taxa and the node represent the common ancestors of the descendants. It uses branches to represent relationships among species, common ancestors and also descendants of the ancestors.

How do littoral zones differ from riparian zones?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The littoral zone is submerged whereas the riparian zone is generally not submerged (other than cases of flooding). However, differences between the two terms depend on who is defining the terms and how they are being used. The littoral zone is the area close to the shore of a river, lake, or the ocean.

If water were a nonpolar molecule, how would it’s properties be different
Lostsunrise [7]

If water was nonpolar, life as it exists now would be impossible. Water is the means by which ionic substances ( Fe^3+, Na^+, Ca^2+, K^+, etc) and polar molecules are distributed around and in the cells of organisms.

What runs along the top of the troposphere
zalisa [80]

A river of air called the jet stream runs along the troposphere just near the top. The troposphere starts at ground level and rises 11 km up which is equivalent to 7 miles or 36,000ft.

About 3/4 of the air in our atmosphere is in the troposphere and almost all weather happens  here. Most of the clouds are found in the  troposphere layer. 

The jet stream is found just  near the top of the troposphere zooming along at a speed of 400km/hr (250 miles per hour)
