Answer:
An index fossil is a fossil used to determine the age of the sediments in which it is found. When quickly approximating the age of new finds, an archaeologist looks at the rocks in which it is buried, as those sediments would have been on the surface at the time of the death of the pre-historic creature.
hope this helps
Explanation:
The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. Blood moves in and out of the lungs through the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart.
Answer:
A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals
called mutagens, or infection by viruses. Germ line mutations occur in the eggs and sperm and can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations occur in body cells and are not passed on.
Mutation has been the source of many Hollywood movies, but it's really a simple process of a mistake made in a DNA sequence as it's being copied. Some of that's just the background noise that DNA copying is not perfect, and we should be glad of that or evolution couldn't operate. But mutation can also be induced by things like radiation or carcinogens in a way that can increase the risk of cancers or birth defects. But it's pretty simple; it's basically an induced misspelling of the DNA sequence.
That's a mutation.
When a variant alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a health condition. A condition caused by variants in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder. In some cases, gene variants are so severe that they prevent an embryo from surviving until birth.
Answer:
- fibrous joint between radius and ulna: C. syndesmosis
- fibrous joint that unites bones of the skull: H. suture
- articulation between teeth and bone: J. gomphosis
- joint with a cavity between bones: E. synovial
- the epiphyseal plate: F. synchondrosis
- articulation between two pubic bones: A. symphysis
- permits opposition and reposition: B. saddle
- fibrocartilagenous fluid filled sacs outside the joint cavity: G. meniscus
- most common degenerative joint disease: D. osteoarthritis
- movement of the sole laterally: I. eversion
Explanation:
The syndesmosis can be defined as a fibrous joint held together by ligaments. Sutures are fibrous joints of tissue that link the cranial bones of the skull. A gomphosis is a mobile fibrous that binds the teeth into sockets in the mandible and maxilla. Synovial joints are joints found between bones that move against each other (e.g., shoulder bones). They (synovial joints) are the most common class of joints found in the body. A symphysis is a cartilaginous, slightly movable, joint between two bones. A saddle is a synovial joint whose opposing surfaces are concave and convex, respectively. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, this condition occurs when the protective cartilage surrounding the bones wears away over time. Finally, eversion refers to a type of movement of the foot which occurs in the auctioneering joint.
Secondary since plants/animals already lived there, but got killed/driven out of the area they lived/thrived in/on.
