In order to identify the most recent common ancestor of an animal, the physical and genetic makeup of the organisms must be compared. The two organisms must have striking similarities in order to be considered as closely related.
Despite the difference in their size, the domestic ferret has a great resemblance with the features of an Eastern European polecat. In addition, they have the ability to cross-breed with polecats. Therefore, the most recent ancestor of the ferret is the Eastern European polecat.
This took a long time to type cuz I am a slow typer. But I hope I got the answer correct! Hope you have a great day!:)
Answer:
Explanation:
Bacteria capsule contain poly-γ-d-glutamic acid and also possesses antiphagocytic properties .
Gram positive cell wall peptidoglycan.
Fimbriae contain adhesin which make them to attach to a base and counter shear force and obtain food.
Pili contain oligomeric proteins which is hair like structure.
Endospores consists of DNA, ribosomes and dipicolinic acid.
RIBOSOMES consist of ribosomal RNA and proteins.
Plasmid consist of circular DNA.
Plasma membranes consist lipid bilayer.
In populations of all living things, there is a variation of different traits. This is important for the process of evolution and natural selection because if the individuals in the population vary in size, shape, color or any other morphological or physiological trait, the individuals can be more or less successful because of them and therefore natural selection can filter the variations that are the fittest for that environment.
A. The great egret. It has a similar hunting area (the edge of the pond) and also eats fish, as well as other similar prey to the great blue heron
The given is incomplete as the options are missing. The correct options for the given question are as follows-
(A) cultivation of agricultural land inhibits the decomposition of organic matter
(B) nitrogen-fixing bacteria are not as plentiful in agricultural soils because of the use of pesticides
(C) land that is available for agriculture tends to be nutrient-poor
(D) the nutrients that become the biomass of plants are not cycled back to the soil on lands where they are harvested
Answer:
Option (D)
Explanation:
In order to carry out agricultural practices, the soil must be rich in essential nutrients for the growth of crops. The soil fertility is a key role in the production of crops.
This agricultural land often requires a large amount of these nutrients and minerals because some of the nutrient minerals are converted into plant biomass which is then used up to produce energy in other sectors. So, the nutrients that were present in the soil are taken away and not transferred back into the soil. This means that the nutrient cycle gets affected. Due to this reason, there requires a constant supply of nutrients into the agricultural fields.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
