Answer:

Although apparently it may look that fungi are more related to plants than the animals but the fact is quite opposite.

Explanation:

The molecular phylogenetic analysis is an excellent tool to find out the correct ancestor and evolutionary history of organisms. The molecular phylogenetic studies have depicted that fungi are more related to animals than to the plants. Please see attached figure.

Here are some of the many similarities between animals and fungi:

Both are eukaryotes that means they have proper organelles bonded by proper membranes.
Both need energy from the sun for their survival but are unable to use that sunlight for the production of food (heterotrophs).
Both do not contain photosynthetic pigments called chlorophylls in their cells.

Hope it help!

The volume and mass of the brain has increased about threefold from early human ancestors such as Australopithecus afarensis, to

spin [16.1K]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. The threefold change happened in one concentrated burst.

B. The change was not consistent in direction, but happened in multiple bursts concentrated at each speciation event.

C. There was consistent directional selection toward a larger brain all along the lineage between the two species.

D. None of the above.

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

The hominids evolved with time and the known hominid in modern time is the Homo sapiens or modern human.

The Homo sapiens like other species could have evolved from the older species through speciation and studies suggest that one of the major factors of human evolution is the size of the brain.

Two possibilities could explain the size of the brain that it could have evolved slowly with time called the gradual equilibrium or in bursts concentrated at each speciation event.

Since the punctuated equilibrium takes place in bursts until the species reach stasis is the most applicable condition for punctuated equilibrium to happen therefore Option-B is the correct answer.

________ are chambers within the brain that contain cerebrospinal fluid.

natka813 [3]

The answer: Ventricles.

There are four ventricles in the brain all connected between them,
where the cerebrospinal fluid is produced. There is a choroid plexus in each ventricle that produce the fluid.

The four ventricles:

- 2 lateral ventricles right and left (one for each hemisphere)
-third ventricle
- fourth ventricle
