Answer:

A trait that is altered easily by small changes in diet.

Explanation:

The phylogenetic tree explains the evolutionary relationship between the organisms. The phylogeny of the organisms will depend on the difference and similarities in their genetic or physical characters.

The traits that are used in phylogeny must be constant and present in the ancestors or in atleast a group. The trait that can be easily modified or changed cannot be used for the study of the evolutionary relationship. Hence, trait which is altered by diet cannot be used in phylogenetic analysis.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

2. synthesize its own food

Explanation:

Based on how they obtain their nutrition, living organisms has been classified to be either producers, consumers, or decomposers. Producers are organisms capable of synthesizing their own food using light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemicals (chemosynthesis).

Consumers, on the other hand, cannot synthesize their own food and hence, rely on other organisms to obtain their energy source. Consumers feed on other organisms to obtain energy. In this question, a fruit fly is classified as a CONSUMER because it cannot synthesize its own food.

After an open reduction and internal fixation of a fractured hip, the nurse is helping a client to get out of bed into a chair.
PIT_PIT [208]
<span>I think the answer would be: instruct the client to bear most of the weight on the unaffected leg and pivot to the chair.
</span>
Hip is a complex and thin bone. Repairing it will be harder than big bones and it will be easier to break again. The client should try to not burden the fractured bone to reduce the risk. At least you need to give the bone time to heal themselves.
