Tiktaalik is a transitional fossil which shows how fish evolved into amphibians and reptiles. So the correct option is B.
What is Tiktaalik?
Tiktaalik is a direct ancestor of tetrapods or four-legged animals. It is an extinct fish-like animal and it lived on earth 380-385 million years ago (Devonian period).
The word Tiktaalik is derived from the <em>Inuktitut</em> language which loosely translates to large freshwater fish. This animal had characteristics of both fish and tetrapod and is therefore called the link between these two kinds of animals.
The characters resembling fish are gills and scales and the characters resembling tetrapods are rib bones, movable neck and lungs. There are characters that are a mix of both tetrapods and fish. These are bones and joints in limbs but fish-like fins instead of feet or hands.

Answer:
As a metabolic heat.
Explanation:
The loss of energy from one trophic level to the next in a food chain occurs because energy is lost in the form of heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Only 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to another while the remaining 90% energy is lost in the form of heat energy in the ecosystem.
Answer:
B. 0.42
Explanation:
Since the two alleles are at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the sum of the frequency of two alleles will be one. If the frequency of a dominant allele is "p" and that of the recessive allele is "q", then p+q=1
According to the given information, the frequency of one allele in the population is= 0.7
This means that the frequency of the other allele would be= 1-0.7 = 0.3
Frequency of heterozygote in the population =2pq = 2 x 0.7 x 0.3 = 0.42
The key evolutionary development of animals seen for the first time in sponges is that of Multicellularity. A Multicellular organism has a longer lifespan than an unicellular organism and since it has multiple cells, it can perform more functions. Sponges do not have distinct circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory systems – instead the water flow system supports all these functions.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The correct option that does not describe the science of nutrition would be <u>that many studies have been conducted on the association between certain types of cancer and diet and, therefore, these links are well-understood</u>.
<em>While truly indeed many studies have been conducted linking certain types of cancer and diet, scientists are far from understanding the link between diets and cancer. While some degrees of understanding exists, it is not 100% certain that there is a cause-effect relationship between these two factors, and a large percentage of cases of cancer are caused by factors that cannot be controlled.</em>
The correct option is, therefore, A.
