Answer:

b) the wing assisted incline running theory postulates that wings were initially used to maintain balance while climbing up slopes

Explanation:

According to Wing-Assisted Incline Running ( WAIR ), proto-birds developed wings as it assisted in running specially on inclined planes. The forelimbs were modified as wings as they provided balance to birds while running at fast speed on slopes. They also used less energy as compared to just running.

There were two more theories, bottom up and top down. According to bottom up, proto-birds were ground dwellers and wings were used to maintain the posture while running. According to top down, proto-birds were tree dwellers and used wings to hop from branch to branch to evade predators and catch prey.

What kind of evidence would be needed in order to change any part of cell theory?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

In order to change any part of the cell theory, we will have to prove that the cells are not the basic unit of life. We will have to provide evidence that a cell does not distinguish a living thing from a non-living thing. We will either have to prove the spontaneous generation to be true or have to prove that if not cells, then what are the basic units of life. We will also need evidence to prove that a cell does not arise from a pre-existing cell.
