Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species in different regions through the history of life on Earth. The map belo

w shows the approximate arrangement of five continents in Earth's past. The distributions of several ancient species, based on fossil evidence, are also shown.
On which modern-day continents would you be most likely to find organisms that share Cynognathus as a common ancestor?

1Points

A
Africa and South America only

B
Africa, Antarctica, and South America only

C
Africa, Antarctica, India, and South America only

D
Africa, Antarctica, Australia, India, and South America

<u>Answer</u>: A) Africa and South America only

As shown in the map, the fossil evidence suggests that Cynognathus lived on the modern day continents of South America and Africa. Thus, from this distribution and the fragmentation of the ancient landmass into today's continents, result in the distribution of Cynognathus offspring species also only within the continents of Africa and South America.

Describe the process that results in the formation of a tetrad.
Nesterboy [21]
The tetrad occurs during the first phase of meiosis. It is the foursome of chromatids that forms when replicated homologous chromosomes align. It must be formed for crossing over to occur. It is broken apart when the homologous chromosomes separate in meiosis I

Identify the structure you are consuming when you eat each of the following vegetables. Match the words in the left column to th
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

a. stem 1: Asparagus

b. taproot: 5. Carrot

c. lateral buds: 2. Brussels sprouts

d. modified stem: 6. Potato

e. leaf (petiole and blade): 4. Spinach    

f. petiole: 3. Celery

Explanation:

A plant stem is one of the structural axes of vascular plants that holds structures such as leaves, flowers, and fruits. The stem also transports water and dissolved (organic and inorganic) nutrients between the roots and the shoots. In some plants, the stem is modified in order to carry out other functions (e.g., storage, vegetative propagation, protection, etc). Potatoes are modified stems (i.e., stem tubers) ​that are connected by small stem sections known as stolons, and serve as food storage organs. A taproot is a central, and dominant root from which other roots sprout, which can be used by the plant to store water and food (e.g., in carrots and turnips). Lateral buds or axillary buds are meristematic regions growing from the axils of the leaves at the intersection of the leaf and stem, below the terminal bud. Leaves are composed of the 1-blade, also known as the lamina, which is the largest part of the leaf, and 2-the petiole, which is a stalk that supports the blade and connects it to the plant stem. Celery petioles play the same functions as a plant stem by acting as transport and storage organs.

Describe the interactions of the nervous and muscular system
Svet_ta [14]

The human body comprises of more than 600 muscles differentiated in three classifications, and all are under the control of the nervous system. The activities like picking up a dropped pen or leaning over incorporate the combined effort of various muscle groups.  

The alert mind relays this instruction to the central nervous system that conducts it in the form of electrical impulses. These are then mediated via the somatic segment of the peripheral nervous system to the nerves accountable for monitoring the essential muscles.  

When the signals arrive, a chemical known as acetylcholine gets discharged from the nerve terminals, activating the membranes of muscle fibers and making them to contract. The receptors present in the muscles provide the brain with the instruction regarding the movement and position of the body, the brain monitors the contraction of skeletal muscles.

What two things aspects of proteins are determined by the amino acids and their sequence?
HACTEHA [7]
The two things aspects of proteins that are determined by the amino acids and their sequence are the chemical properties and the 3-Dimensional structure of the proteins. Proteins are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. Proteins are made up of hundreds of smaller units called amino acids that are attached to one another by peptide bonds, forming a long chain.
