Crustacea(ns) form a very large group of arthropods.
Answer:
Option C, shared DNA sequences
Explanation:
Complete question -
What evidence suggests that vertebrates are more closely related to echinoderms than are any other invertebrate phyla?
- shared patterns of development
- shared morphology
- shared DNA sequences
Solution
Vertebrates have true backbone while invertebrates lack true backbone. Among the invertebrates, the echinoderm phylum is closely related to vertebrates as the echinoderm possesses notochord (similar to backbone) during their early stage development which disappears later.
Through the genomic sequence studies it has been found that echinoderms are similar to vertebrates in many ways. Echinoderms have diverged from deuterostomes along with human and hence pose some genetic similarity which can be devised through study of common DNA sequences
Hence, option C is correct
Answer:
chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the sun into sugars that can be used by cells. Its like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.
Answer:
Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
A phylogenetic tree is the representation of the evolutionary relationships among species. The fossil records are used as evidence to develop a phylogenetic tree. Thus, option A is correct.
<h3>What is a fossil record?</h3>
A fossil record is a depiction of the organisms that shared common ancestors and depicts the change in the structural and functional unit of the organism over many years of time.
They are used to illustrate the phylogenetic tree to show the morphological, structural, chemical, anatomical, etc variations in species that shared ancestry.
Therefore, option A. fossil records are used to show the common ancestry at the nodes.
