Despite longstanding assumptions by marine biologists, very young sea turtles travel by swimming, not just drifting.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The movement of sea turtles will be always slower in nature. This is because they are herbivores. They feed on plants and they will be available for them in larger quantity. Hence, they move slowly because they are not in a need to run behind their food faster.

Drifting refers to the movement due to force or pressure that may be caused by wind. Swimming refers to a movement where the entire body movement is essential for moving. From the investigation by the researchers given in the example, we can conclude that despite of longstanding assumptions by marine biologists, very young sea turtles travel by swimming, not just drifting.

What are similar structures that evolved independently called?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Analogous structures

Explanation:

These structures are similar but not derived from the common ancestor like homologous structures. Analogous structures are formed as a result of convergent evolution-type of evolution in which organisms develop on similar way but independently. An example of analogous structures are wings. Birds, insects and bats all have wings, with the same purpose (flight) but they evolved in their own way.

CD8 helps with recognition of which of the following molecules on the surface of a cell?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

MHCI

Major histocompatibility complex I (MHCI) is present on the nucleated cells of the body. Endogenous pathway represents the pathway of MHC class I molecules.

MHCI display peptide fragment of proteins to the cytotoxic T cells with the help of CD8 ( Cluster of differentiation). CD8 binds with the MHCI and expressed on the surface of cytotoxic T cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
