Members of Superclass Agnatha lack what feature

English
1 answer:
Elanso [62]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Agnatha (Ancient Greek is a superclass of jawless fish in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, consisting of both present (cyclostomes) and extinct (conodonts and ostracoderms) species. The group is sister to all vertebrates with jaws, known as gnathostomes.

Recent molecular data, both from as well as embryological data[8] strongly supports the hypothesis that living agnathans, the cyclostomes, are monophyletic.

The oldest fossil agnathans appeared in the Cambrian, and two groups still survive today: the lampreys and the hagfish, comprising about 120 species in total. Hagfish are considered members of the subphylum Vertebrata, because they secondarily lost vertebrae; before this event was inferred from molecular and developmental data, the group Craniata was created by Linnaeus (and is still sometimes used as a strictly morphological descriptor) to reference hagfish plus vertebrates. In addition to the absence of jaws, modern agnathans are characterised by absence of paired fins; the presence of a notochord both in larvae and adults; and seven or more paired gill pouches. Lampreys have a light sensitive pineal eye (homologous to the pineal gland in mammals). All living and most extinct Agnatha do not have an identifiable stomach or any appendages. Fertilization and development are both external. There is no parental care in the Agnatha class. The Agnatha are ectothermic or cold blooded, with a cartilaginous skeleton, and the heart contains 2 chambers.

While a few scientists still regard the living agnathans as only superficially similar, and argue that many of these similarities are probably shared basal characteristics of ancient vertebrates, recent classification clearly place hagfish (the Myxini or Hyperotreti) with the lampreys (Hyperoartia) as being more closely related to each other than either is to the jawed fishes.

Plz help me on this question<br><br> Summarize chapter three of To Kill A Mockingbird
KatRina [158]
At lunch, Scout rubs Walter’s nose in the dirt for getting her in trouble, but Jem intervenes and invites Walter to lunch (in the novel, as in certain regions of the country, the midday meal is called “dinner”). At the Finch house, Walter and Atticus discuss farm conditions “like two men,” and Walter puts molasses all over his meat and vegetables, to Scout’s horror. When she criticizes Walter, however, Calpurnia calls her into the kitchen to scold her and slaps her as she returns to the dining room, telling her to be a better hostess. Back at school, Miss Caroline becomes terrified when a tiny bug, or “cootie,” crawls out of a boy’s hair. The boy is Burris Ewell, a member of the Ewell clan, which is even poorer and less respectable than the Cunningham clan. In fact, Burris only comes to school the first day of every school year, making a token appearance to avoid trouble with the law. He leaves the classroom, making enough vicious remarks to cause the teacher to cry. At home, Atticus follows Scout outside to ask her if something is wrong, to which she responds that she is not feeling well. She tells him that she does not think she will go to school anymore and suggests that he could teach her himself. Atticus replies that the law demands that she go to school, but he promises to keep reading to her, as long as she does not tell her teacher about it.

TheHangman by Maurice Ogden is the poem
Marta_Voda [28]

After reading the poem "The Hangman", by Maurice Ogden, we can answer the questions:

1. The Hangman built the gallows to hang the townspeople in front of the courthouse.

2. The townspeople wondered who the Hangman would kill. He told them he would kill someone who "served [him] the best."

3. The Hangman hanged first a man who was from another land, not from that town.

4. The townspeople asked him if he had not killed the foreigner the day before. In other words, they wondered why he was still there. I believe the Hangman had not left because he intended, all along, to kill the others.

5. The one who spoke out against the Hangman was hanged by him.

6. The third person was a Jew. The townspeople ask him if that was the man who served him well. The fourth executed was a black man.

7. The townspeople stop asking questions and reacting to the killings. I believe they are feeling both afraid and confused, because the Hangman does not answer their questions directly and never leaves.

8. The speaker thinks the Hangman called him to help pull down the gallows.

9. The Hangman really called him with the intention of hanging him. When the speaker accuses the Hangman of having lied, the Hangman asks who has served him more faithfully than the speaker.

  • The poem "The Hangman" by Maurice Ogden is a narrative poem from a first-person perspective.
  • The poem criticizes people and government's inertia in the face of injustice and cruelty. Many interpret the poem as a criticism to the world's reaction to Nazism.
  • The first people hanged by the Hangman are precisely those he knows no one will defend: a stranger, a Jew, a black man.
  • People do nothing about it. As long as it does not happen to them, they do not care about the suffering of others.
  • Finally, the Hangman begins to hang everyone. Now, his excuse for killing them is precisely the fact that they did not help the others.
  • In conclusion, the poem is a fierce critique against violence, injustice, and inertia.
