Transitional fossils show how a particular taxa accumulated adaptations to fit particular environments and/or ecological niches
Explanation:
Transitional fossils are fossilized remains of taxonomic groups/species that illustrate an evolutionary transition between a known version of a taxa/species and the current taxa/species. Transitional fossils are fundamental because they can be clearly differentiated from the ancestral group as well as of its derived descendant group. For example, there exist transitional fossils known as "mammal-like reptiles"(i.e., therapsids that gave rise to the true mammals), which are clearly different from current mammals.
These are the inner folds of the stomach. The folds are pronounced in an empty stomach that is not yet distended by food. They also increase the surface area in which the food is in contact with digestive enzymes produced by the stomach walls.
When the blood plasma becomes less concentrated and the level of ADH decreases, aquaporins are removed from collecting tubule cell membranes, and the passage of water out of urine and into the blood decreases.
