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.

Which idea did Ptolemy’s model use to explain why the planets appeared to move backward as they moved in their orbits?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Ptolemy included epicycles in his orbits.

Explanation:

Ptolomy's model of the solar system was geocentric, where the sun, moon, planets, and stars all orbit the earth in perfectly circular orbits. The problem with perfectly circular orbit around the Earth is that they do not explain the occasional backward motion, or retrograde motion, of the planets.

The Greeks insisted that the motion of the planets be perfectly circular. Ptolemy modeled the planets making small circles around a point that orbited the Earth. These smaller circles were called epicycles, and they allowed the planets to move backward relative to the background stars.

Generally, primates have all of the following characteristics except__________________.
Rainbow [258]

Answer: c. enhanced sense of smell.

Explanation:

Primates are an incredibly diverse group of living species between 190 and 350 based on various taxonomic structures and show a broad variety of characteristics that help differentiate them from other mammals.  

The hands ofprimates are particularly sensitive and contribute to the sense of contact. Relative to other mammals, the brain areas that deal with eye-hand coordination and stereoscopic are very good and vision are especially large.  

The smell characteristics decreases to survive for animals which develop a dependence on other senses, such as hearing or sight.

Hence the correct option is c. enhanced sense of smell.
