Answer:

The correct answer is the second statement.

Explanation:

Plesiomorphic characters or the traits refers to those that are shared by various clades in a specific group. These traits share a common ancestor, they have been the same in each of the species of the group and also in other groups. Like hair is a specific feature, which is shared by all the mammals from their initial stage, however, subsequent evolution has produced many clades afterward.

Lynna [10]
<span>This behavior is an example of B. overproduction. The frog lays thousands of eggs, which is much more than it needs, or would need in perfect conditions. However, most of those eggs doesn't survive, and little frogs are never born in that case. This is why it has to have a lot of eggs so as to ensure that a decent number of offspring survives so as to continue the species.</span>

Which letter in Figure 1 represents meiosis? Why?
SSSSS [86.1K]

The letter D in Figure 1 represents meiosis, while letter A represents mitosis. Meiosis is a reductional cell division.

Mitosis is a type of cell division where a parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells (in this case, diploid cells).

Meiosis is a reductional cell division where a parent cell divides twice to produce four daughter cells having half of the genetic material.

Meiosis occurs in germinal cells, while mitosis occurs in somatic (body) cells.

Which two features indicate that a cell is a plant cell and not an animal cell? A. cell membrane, flagella B. lysosome, vacuole
Triss [41]
c. cell wall, vacuole

Among the choices above, the two features that indicate that a cell is a plant cell is the cell wall and vacuole. The cell wall can only be found in plant cells. It is the rigid cell that surrounds the cell membrane. The vacuole of a plant cell and animal cell are way too different. The vacuole of an animal cell is usually more than one and small, even smaller that that of the plant cell. On the other hand, the vacuole of the plant cell is only one in fact a large one that takes up almost 90 percent of the volume of the cell
