Biology
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago
4 0

The correct answer is: Events that occur early in the fossil record are represented by branching events nearer to the root of a phylogenetic tree.  

Fossil records explain the history and evolution of life based on fossils. Fossils are remains of organisms preserved in sedimentary rock. In fossil records they are analyzed and arranged chronologically and in taxonomic order, so that can represent the evolution.

Phylogenies describes the relationships between organisms (species): from which organisms it is evolved, to which species it is most closely related etc. and it is represented as a diagram or phylogenetic tree. It is used to organize living organisms into specific categories. Characteristics of fossils are used to generate a phylogenetic tree, more precisely their roots that represent common ancestors.

Arada [10]

Answer:

a. autotriploid of species A: 63 chromosomes

b. autotetraploid of species B: 96 chromosomes

c. allotriploid from species A and B: 1) 66 chromosomes and 2) 69 chromosomes

Explanation:

<u>For a.</u>

this species will have 3 haploid sets of chromosomes ('tri' means 3)

one haploid set = 21

21 × 3 = 63 chromosomes

<u>For b.</u>

this species will have 4 haploid sets of chromosomes ('tetra' means 4)

one haploid set = 24

24 × 4 = 96 chromosomes

<u>For c.</u>

there are two ways to do this:

1) two sets of chromosomes from species A and one from species B

42 + 24 = 66 chromosomes

2) one set of chromosomes from species A and two from species B

21 + 48 = 69 chromosomes

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

What structure do white blood cells use to engulf bacteria when they do phagocytosis?
vesna_86 [32]

The engulfed object is thus enclosed within a membrane-bound vacuole called a phagosome. The phagocyte digests the ingested particle with hydrolytic enzymes, which are contained within membrane-enclosed sacs called lysosomes found within the cell.
