Some fish have bony fins. If the body of water they are in dries out, these fins can be used to help the fish "walk" to another body of water. In this context, bony fins are an example of <span>an exaption</span>
Less stomata because stomata is the pathway through which water transpires. A cactus' habitat is much drier than normal tropical plants, therefore it would require less transpiration to survive. In order to lessen transpiration, they have less stomata.
Answer:
Organisms use various strategies and adaptations to regulate body temperature and metabolism. The organisms control the exchange of heat by various ways which include physiological, behavioural means and by insulation.
The factors which play most important role in the heat exchange regulation between environment and organism are as follows:
- effective temperature difference between organism and environment
- Exposed surface area
- Evaporatory and circulatory changes
<u>Insulation</u> :Another most common method used for heat exchange.Animals who have furs,feathers and fat layers which play significant role in insulation. They are very much important because they reduce heat exchange amount between environment and organism. The most common example is of Cats. They used to curl up their bodies when they want to sleep in cold environment, they tuck their bodies in their paws and legs, and they wasp their tails around their bodies. When organism uses the food and oxygen the body temperature begins to increase, this method is known as metabolic heat production.
Out of the following given choices;
contain ribose
consist of two strands
made of nucleotides
have an R group
The answer is 'made of nucleotides'. This is because out of the choices, DNA and RNA share the similarity of being made of nucleotides. However, while DNA is made of deoxyribose nucleotides, RNA is composed of ribose nucleotides. This difference is that in deoxyribose nucleotide, the 2nd carbon has a hydroxyl group while ribose nucleotide has hydrogen.
Answer: c) and b) are correct.
The brain is encased in a protective bony or cartilaginous housing in craniates.
The anterior end of the nerve cord is elaborated to form a brain in craniates.
Explanation: The craniates include the chordata with well-defined heads. This includes mammals, reptiles and fishes. So we can discard the other answers. Because most craniates have functional jaws, and the adults do not lose their chordate characteristics. The last one does not apply as a specific feature because the tunicate have neural crest but are not recognized as craniata.
