The ancestors of modern-day fish were vertebrate chordates. Vertebrate chordates are believed to have evolved from invertebrate

chordates, which were similar to modern-day tunicates.
What change must have occurred during the evolution from invertebrate chordates to vertebrate chordates?

A.
A backbone evolved to enclose the spinal cord, which develops from the dorsal nerve cord.
B.
An endoskeleton evolved to enclose the dorsal nerve cord, which develops from the notochord.
C.
An endoskeleton evolved to enclose the spinal cord, which develops from the notochord.
D.
A backbone evolved to enclose the notochord, which develops from the spinal cord.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, an endoskeleton evolved to enclose the dorsal nerve cord, which develops from the notochord.

Explanation:

It has been discovered that the ancestors of the modern-day fish were vertebrate chordates. The vertebrate chordates are considered to have evolved from the invertebrate chordates that are identical to the present day tunicates. It has been found that in vertebrates the endoskeleton has evolved to encompass the dorsal nerve cord that has been developed from the notochord (a characteristic of invertebrates).

Identify a probable reason that the dark moths survived while the light moths did not.
kirill [66]

Answer:

This question has little context, but I understand what you are trying to say.

The reason why dark moths survived while light moths weren't able to survive is due to the dark moths having conditions that allowed them to camouflage better than the light moths. An environmental condition that would allow this would be the dark moths and the light moths living in the same dark environment.

Assuming DNA is replicated correctly (so there are no mutations),
gavmur [86]

Answer:

None of the choices would lead to all identical gametes.

Explanation:

Gametes are sex cells produced by sexually reproducing organims via a process of cell division called MEIOSIS. Meiosis is a cell division process which produces four (4) daughter cells (gametes), which are genetically different from the parent cell.

The difference in genetical content is as a result of a process unique to only meiosis called CROSSING-OVER OR RECOMBINATION. This process ensures that the genetic content of the gametes are altered. Hence, since gamete formation is done via meiosis, none of the scenarios in the option will lead to all identical gametes.
