No, some organisms have similar (analogous) structures but are not closely related . A more accurate way of finding evolutionary connections would be to compare the DNA of different organisms.

Answer:

All options are correct

Explanation:

Fossils are the remains of organisms (animals and plants) preserved in a rock. Scientists (geologists & palaebiologists) have used fossils to study the diversity of organisms in the past. This is based on their preserved morphological features. For example, several species of foraminifera has been identified in the rocks. Among them, some species are present today whereas others have become extinct.

Similarly, fossils are the indicators of past climate (e.g. temperature) as well. This means, if a specific species can survive at a particular temperature, its presence suggest that particular environment. For example, corals survive in tropical waters at specific depth and sunlight. So, if we find corals fossils, the cliamte of that particular age would be roughly the similar.

In the end, fossils can also provide evidence of orogeny (mountain building) process. These are typically plants fossils which cannot move and their remains are preserved in the folding rocks.

Lana71 [14]
<h2>Primates </h2>

Explanation:

Primates are a group of animals has flexible hands and feet, large brains in relation to body size, forward-looking eyes, and arms that can rotate in a circle around the shoulder joint

  • Primates include the lemurs,lorises,monkeys,apes and humans
  • The order Primates, with its 300 or more species, is the third most diverse order of mammals, after rodents and bats
  • The Primates order is divided informally into three main groups: prosimians, monkeys of the New World, and monkeys and apes of the Old World
  • All primates have five fingers (pentadactyly), a generalized dental pattern, and a primitive body plan
  • Another distinguishing feature of primates is fingernails
  • Opposing thumbs are also a characteristic primate feature
  • When compared with body weight, the primate brain is larger than that of other terrestrial mammals, and it has a fissure unique to primates that separates the first and second visual areas on each side of the brain
  • The eyes face forward in all primates so that the eyes visual fields overlap
  • Fossils of the earliest primates date to the Early Eocene Epoch (56 million to 40 million years ago) or perhaps to the Late Paleocene Epoch (59 million to 56 million years ago)

which component of blood consists of cell fragments and is the main contributor to healing cuts? A. erythrocytes B. thrombocytes
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. thrombocytes.

Thrombocytes, also called platelets are the components of the blood which play important role in the process of hemostasis.

Hemostasis is the process of preventing the flow of blood from the damaged site or damaged blood vessel. It is the first stage involved in the healing of the wound.

Platelets form the platelet-plug at the site of damage which in turn activates another blood clotting factor fibrinogen.

Fibrinogen gets converted into an active fibrin (insoluble) which forms the meshwork like structure to trap more and more platelets and red blood cells. It results in the formation of a clot which completely seals the cut or damaged site.
