Complete question:

This cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships among some mammals based on  homologous structures.

(You will find the cladogram in the attached files)

Which statement is supported by this cladogram?

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales.

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

Answer:

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

Explanation:  

A cladogram is a branched diagram of characteristics shared by the organisms of a group, that represents the most probable evolutive history of the linage. Cladograms reflect the phylogenetic relationships among groups through phylogenetic trees.

In the phylogenetic tree, the taxonomic groups of interest are located in the extremes of the lines called branches. The ramification point, which is also called "node" or divergence point, represents the location of the most recent common ancestor.

The common ancestor position will determine how related are two species. If they have a recent common ancestor, they are closely related to each other. On the other hand, if the common ancestor is not recent and is located far away in the tree, then the two species will be less related to each other.  

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas. TRUE. Hippopotamuses share a common more recent ancestor with cows than with javelinas. This means that the hyppopotamus is more related to cows than to javelinas. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Cows, and the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Javelinas.  

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses. FALSE. Tooth whales are more related to the hyppopotamus. Their common ancestor is more recent than the common ancestor between toothed whales and mouse deer. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestors.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales. FALSE. They are equally related.  

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

FALSE. They are equally related.

Which stage represents the climax community

Explanation:

climax community refers to a stable ecosystem in its final stage of ecological succession. Succession is when one community of plants and animals replaces another in an ecosystem. In a climax community, the plants and animals are in balance with each other and their environment.

Why more atp is produced in aerobic respiration than in anaerobic respiration
Oxana [17]
Most of the ATP produced by aerobic cellular respiration is made by oxidative phosphorylation. This works by the energy released in the consumption of pyruvate being used to create a chemiosmotic potential by pumping protons across a membrane. 

<span>Aerobic metabolism is 19 times more efficient than anaerobic metabolism (which yields 2 mol ATP per 1 mol glucose). They share the initial pathway of glycolysis but aerobic metabolism continues with the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. The post glycolytic reactions take place in the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells, and in the cytoplasm in prokaryotic cells.</span>

The observation that NMDA receptor blockade interferes with performance in the Morris water maze provides an example of a ______
AnnyKZ [126]

The observation that NMDA receptor blockade interferes with performance in the Morris water maze provides an example of a <u>somatic intervention experiment</u> supporting the connection between LTP and memory.

<h3>What is a somatic intervention experiment?</h3>

Somatic Intervention is a technique that allows you to recognize and interrupt habitual patterns (such as anxiety, anger, stress, or fear), release bodily tension and associated memories, and move forward in a more calm and focused manner.

You will learn a new language through Somatic Intervention.

Thus, the correct option is <u>somatic intervention experiment.</u>

<u></u>

Original band members of KISS
Kay [80]
As for this, the original band members of KISS were Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley.

The origin of KISS would be traced back to the band called Wicked Lester where Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley originally were. They abandoned it after a while and started a new group. They first met Peter Criss along the roads of East Coast and met up in a nightclub. Auditioned and then became an official member, the began playing together, but in a much harder rock that Wicked Lester played. Lastly before KISS was formed, Ace Frehley completed the band and then KISS was born.

How does the process of cellular respiration maintain homeostasis?
marissa [1.9K]
Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose is transformed into ATP. -- It uses oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide and takes place in the mitochondria of the cells. -- It helps maintain homeostasis by transforming energy that can be used to do cellularwork.
