Coelacanths and lungfish are collectively known as the lobe-finned fishes, and have fins containing similar arrangements of bone

s to those seen in tetrapod limbs. Which of the following statements about this relationship is TRUE?
O Because the fins of the lobe-finned fishes and the limbs of tetrapods are used for different purposes, they can not be homologous.
O Coelacanths and lungfish are considered to be the first tetrapods.
O This relationship is an example of a morphological similarity reflecting a likely evolutionary link.
O Despite the similar morphology of lobe fins and tetrapod limbs, genetic evidence suggests that coelacanths and lungfish are only distantly related to the tetrapods.

Answer:This relationship is an example of a morphological similarity reflecting a likely evolutionary link

Explanation:

Lungfish and Coelacanths are distinct from other fish because they are lobe-finned species.

Lately, major palaeontological studies proposed that Lungfish and Coelacanth form a  monophyletic sister group that is related closely to the tetrapods.

A monophyletic group is a group of organisms that include all the descendants and they share a common ancestor.

What are the two different results of a lack of calcium and a lack of atp?
liq [111]
<span>There are numerous proteins in muscle. The main two are thin actin filaments and thick myosin filaments. Thin filaments form a scaffold that thick filaments crawl up. There are many regulatory proteins such as troponin I, troponin C, and tropomyosin. There are also proteins that stabilize the cells and anchor the filaments to other cellular structures. A prime example of this is dystrophin. This protein is thought to stabilize the cell membrane during contraction and prevent it from breaking. Those who lack completely lack dystrophin have a disorder known as Duchene muscular dystrophy. This disease is characterized by muscle wasting begininng in at a young age and usually results in death by the mid 20s. The sarcomere is the repeating unit of skeletal muscle. 

Muscle cells contract by interactions of myosin heads on thick filament with actin monomers on thin filament. The myosin heads bind tightly to actin monomers until ATP binds to the myosin. This causes the release of the myosin head, which subsequently swings foward and associates with an actin monomer further up the thin filament. Hydrolysis and of ATP and the release of ADP and a phosphate allows the mysosin head to pull the thick filament up the thin filament. There are roughly 500 myosin heads on each thick filament and when they repeatedly move up the thin filament, the muscle contracts. There are many regulatory proteins of this contraction. For example, troponin I, troponin C, and tropomyosin form a regulatory switch that blocks myosin heads from binding to actin monomers until a nerve impulse stimulates an influx of calcium. This causes the switch to allow the myosin to bind to the actin and allows the muscle to contract. </span><span>

olga55 [171]
In humans sperms can survive 3 -5 days within the female reproductive tract. 
The ideal time of fertilization is around ovulation when the egg is in the fallopian tube. After travelling through the vaginal canal, the strongest sperm make it to the cervix. From here, the sperm must travel through the uterus and into one of the fallopian tubes.
