Answer: "Chemical fossils"evidence supports the notion that sponges are some of the earliest known multicellular animals.

Explanation:

Sponges are multicellular animals, may belong to Ediacarian period likely to be 80 million years ago or earlier. They catered through a complex system of internal channels, by moving seawater.

Sponges are soft-bodied and very rarely protected as fossils, therefore finding evidence of existence is giant task. The key of their existence came to know from abnormal chemicals which is a steroids of a particular type generated sufficiently by them but virtually never by ordinary organisms.

Analysis of long strata sequence found in Oman and researchers have been able to extract these "chemical fossils" from samples spanning tens of millions of years — before, during and after the Ediacarian period.This gave clear evidence that sponges had to have evolved long before the great variety of multicellular organisms proliferated at the dawn of that time.

The best answer is B.

The cells of a multi cellular organisms are called eukaryotic cells and have:

1. a membrane-bound nucleus

2. numerous membrane - bound organelles including the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts and mitochondria.

3. several rod-shaped chromosomes.

Because a eukaryotic cell's nucleus is said to be surrounded by a membrane, it is said to have a true nucleus. Organelles (meaning "little organ") have specialized cellular roles just like the organs of the body have specialized roles.

A client who had injection sclerotherapy for varicose veins is advised to wear compression (support) stockings. what is most imp

Xelga [282]

Don the stockings before getting out of bed in the morning.

To prevent distention of the veins, stockings should be applied before the legs are placed in a dependent position. Stockings should be used preventively before the discomfort associated with venous pressure and edema occurs. Knee-high stockings should end 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the knee to avoid popliteal pressure, which limits venous return. Stockings apply uniform pressure. Elastic bandages may slip or develop wrinkles, creating uneven pressure and constriction; edema may result.

How do the number of chromosomes in cells that go through meiosis and mitosis compare?

34kurt

Answer: Option A is correct.

Cells that go through meiosis have half as many chromosomes as cell that go through mitosis. Meiosis is that's why called REDUCTION DIVISION.

Explanation:

In meiosis, the number of chromosomes becomes half or reduced than the normal while, in mitosis the number of chromosomes remains the same.

Captive-bred trout reduce the fitness of wild populations, Relative fitness Wild Captive Captive Wild Wild Captive What statemen

N76 [4]

Answer:

A) The gene flow between hatchery-reared and wild populations is leading to a decline in fitness of wild populations.

Explanation:

we have relative fitness at its greatest in trouts whose parents are wild x wild. crossing the wild with hatchery reared causes a decrease in the fitness of the troutgene flow is the exchange of genes between two different breeds. the wild is a greatly diverse breed and it is highly adaptive. while the hatchery reared is less adaptive.when these two breed less fit alleles will then be transferred to the wild

therefore option a answers the question
