4 0

Answer: A. ancestral trait

Explanation:

Bipedalism can be define as a form of terrestrial locomotion, in which the organism moves with the help of two rear limbs or legs. Typical bipedal movements includes the hoping, running and walking. The evolution of the human bipedalism occurred in primates in about 4 million years ago with Sahelanthropus (oldest human ancestors or African Apes). The human ancestor Sahelanthropus led to the morphological alterations in the human skeleton including changes in the bones such as size of the bones of the foot, knee size, shape and orientation of the vertebral column, and leg length. All these changes contributed to the bipedalism.

Which statement below best summarizes the
monitta

Answer:

D. Clear-cutting would increase the amount of carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere

Explanation:

Plants including trees are organisms that help maintain the balance of carbon in the carbon cycle. They do this via the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS, which is the way they obtain their energy and carbon source. During photosynthesis, trees (plants) absorb carbon in form of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air through the STOMATA on their leaves.

CO2 is an input substance in order for photosynthesis to occur. In a case where all the trees (plants) of a forest has been clear cut or removed, there will be no organisms to directly absorb the carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere via respiration. Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere would increase.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The six codons for arginine are the following:

GCA, GCG, GCT, GCC, TCT, TCC

A) Considering the individual bases in each codon, three mutations are possible at each base position. Hence, 3 × 3 × 6 = 54 mutations are possible.

B) Considering the mutations at the 3rd base: 3 × 4 + 1 × 2 = 14 of these mutations are silent mutations.

C) Lysine codons are the following:

TTT, TTC

There are two possible mutations that can give a lys codon.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Find the sensory hair ( vibrissae) around the mouth, cheeks. what do you think these are used for?
lawyer [7]

Vibrissae, more commonly known as whiskers, are sensory hair that generally have a tactile sense, which is equivalent to skin. They grow on most mammals except monotremes (duck-billed platypus and echidnas) and humans, though humans still have remnants of the muscles once associated with vibrissae in their upper lips. Vibrissae serve a number of purposes: such as sense of touch; detection of danger, air and water currents, and movements of other animals; and the locating of food.
