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.

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.

postnew [5]

Answer:

light is required to provide energy for photosynthesis

Explanation:

For photosynthesis to take place, it requires the presence of light and chlorophyll. The process has two stages; light and dark stage.

In the light stage, chlorophyll molecules absorb light energy which is used to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The process is called photolysis.

water→ hydrogen atoms + oxygen.

The hydrogen atoms produced enter the dark stage while oxygen is released in the atmosphere. In the dark stage, carbon dioxide combines with the hydrogen atoms to form simple sugar such as glucose.
