What is the advantage of radial symmetry for sessile animals such as hydras and bilateral symmetry for mobile animals such as pl

anaria? What major evolutionary trends accompany bilateral symmetry?
Biology
1 answer:
Juliette [100K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

- Radial symmetry is advantageous because sessile animals can "sit down", take food, or sense harmful environmental conditions from different directions.  

- Bilateral symmetry allows motile animals to move straight forward.

- The major evolutionary advantages of bilateral symmetry include cephalization, the formation of a head and tail area and a more directional motion.

Explanation:

Radial symmetry is advantageous for sessile organisms since it enables the uniform distribution of the sensory receptors around the body. In consequence, sessile organisms can react to environmental stimuli from every direction. On the other hand, bilateral symmetry allows motile organisms the arrangement of a specialized nervous system from the anterior end of the organism (i.e., the 'head'). Moreover, another important advantage of bilateral symmetry is the ability to equalize environmental pressures on both sides of the body, thereby enabling a rectilinear motion.

Which of the following statements about natural selection is true?A. Natural selection is a process whereby genes are selected r
AlekseyPX

Answer:

C. Natural selection favors individuals that reproduce more than others.

Explanation:

Genetic variations present in the population are acted upon by natural selection. The organisms that have the adaptive traits which in turn make them able to survive and reproduce more than the other individuals are favored by natural selection.

Over generations, natural selection leads to the evolution of a new population with an increased frequency of the gene responsible for the selected adaptive trait.  

For example, the bacteria with antibiotic resistance were favored by natural selection as they can survive and produce more progeny in the presence of antibiotics than the bacteria lacking the gene for antibiotic resistance.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

~3 times...

Explanation:

Well...the data provided by different institutes of oncology were highly random both in US and Hungary. but by using Chi-Square probability analysis in both of the countries the ration comes as 2.87:1 that means residents of US are 3 times more likely to die from breast cancer than Hungarians. A 5% confidence interval was used in this test with percentages 31.8% for us and 11.9% for Hungarians.
