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.

Terry saved some of the tooth-like objects within the hagfish's round mouth to analyze their composition in his mentor's biochem
Triss [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a. "scales".

Explanation:

The missing information of this question is the following:

"Terry catches a ray-finned fish from the ocean and notices that attached to its flank is an equally long, snakelike organism. The attached organism has no external segmentation, no scales, a round mouth surrounded by a s*cker, and two small eyes. Terry concludes it is a hagfish."

Gymnophiona is a group of amphibians characterized by having dermal scales as integumentary element. These amphibians are tetrapods and their scales are comprised of several layers of unmineralized collagenous fibers. The skeleton of the hagfish is made entirely of cartilage, therefore it is very likely that the tooth-like objects of hagfish's are made of cartilage, just like the scales of the tetrapod.
