Biology

grandymaker [24]2 years ago
3 0

Destruction of myelin will affect the nerve and there will be the less conduction of electrical impulses from the brain to other parts of the body and the nerve signal sent to the brain are delayed. These damaged nerve areas form sclerosis which disrupts the signalling capacity of the nerve. This may occur due to genetic defects, infectious agents, auto immune reactions and trauma.

Sharks have existed on Earth for centuries, even thousands of years with very little change to their structure. Why do you think
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Sharks, in their basal form have been on Earth for hundreds of millions of years.  They were the first to develop a stream-like, torpedo shaped body and created a niche for themselves. Their aerodynamic body shape has evolved to allow for efficient and dynamic movement in water. Having a cartilage instead of bones allowed them to grow large and still be relatively light and buoyant . After they've evolved flexible, protruding jaws, there wasn't much to change. They were able to adapt and exploit all the water habitats as the world was changing.

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: the rate of pollination of flower, in a field next to a pond with no fish, will DECREASE.

Explanation:

POLLINATION is defined as the process by which flowering plants, through the aid of external agents such as insects,wind, water and other animals, are able to transfer pollen grains from an anther to a receptive stigma. Insects are the most common pollinators. They visit flowers to obtain nectar and pollen as source of food. Flowers use various features, such as colour and scent, to attract and guide insects to the food source within them. In the process of reaching their source of food, insects bring about pollination.

From the study conducted by scientist in Florida, eight(8) ponds where subjected to the the study. The first four (4) ponds had species of fishes that fed on dragonflies and dragonfly larvae, hence the reason for a decrease in the population of the dragon flies in the area around it. While the remaining four (4) ponds had NO fish and the area around it is populated with dragonflies and dragonfly larvae. This is so because of the absence of fish.

It was then noted that the dragon lies fed of the insect pollinators such as the bees and butterflies. Since these dragonflies and its larvae are abundant in the field which is close to the pond with no fish, they will grossly depend on the insect pollinators as their source of food thereby decreasing the rate of pollination in the field next to the pond with no fish.

Which of the following statements are not true about the fossil record
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Older fossils tend to lay in the lower levels of the ground. The further up the fossils are, the more likely you are to find something that looks like today. Think of it as stacking papers with different drawings on them from different ages. Oldest goes on the bottom, newest goes on the top. The older layer stands as more of a foundation point while newer layers are around where we are now.
