Answer:
Option 2: Spiracles.
Explanation:
Cartilaginous fish (also called Chrondricytes) have a skeleton of cartilage, instead of bone. There are two subclasses - Elasmobranchii and Holocephali. Sharks, rays, skates and sawfish are elasmobranchs while chimeras are holocephali.
Here’s a list of features of cartilaginous fish in comparison to bony fish:
1. Cartilage skeleton: unlike bony fish that have a skeleton made of bones (just like other terrestrial vertebrates), the skeleton of cartilaginous fish is made of cartilage.
2. Spiracles: this is a modified gill of sorts, it aids with respiration and is found slightly behind each eye. It leads directly to the mouth. Most cartilaginous fish possess this organ (exceptions are present, such as hammerhead sharks). Bony fish do not possess spiracles.
3. Ampullae of Lorenzini: absent in bony fish, these organs are electroreceptors that form a network of pores filled with a form of jelly that can transmit electrical signals. It allows the cartilaginous fish to sense electric fields in the water (such as the movements of a fish struggling), magnetic fields and temperature. Some bony fish such as sturgeon and lungfish may possess these organs, however research is still ongoing.
4. Claspers: male cartilaginous fish possess an organ known as claspers at their pelvic fin. This is used during reproduction to transfer the sperm into the female for fertilisation. As such, internal fertilisation occurs in cartilagonous fish. Bony fish do not possess this organ, and external fertilisation occurs.
There are many other characteristics that differentiate cartilaginous fish from bony fish. They're an extremely fascinating group of animals that unfortunately, is decreasing in numbers. Very little is known about many of these animals, so it is important that we do our best to conserve the sharks, rays, sawfish and chimeras before we lose them forever.
Answer:
F-: StrR, his+ and met+
Explanation:
the strain Hfr is a high-frequency strain of recombination that includes the F plasmid (fertility factor). Therefore, the whole genome sequence is able to be passed via Hfr to its receiver, but it needs a long duration of physical contact with the recipient because the recipient gets a gene (long time physical contact is seldom attained) and retains the F strain. Also, genomes from the F-cells are not passed backwards to the HF cells. Therefore, only F strain with tolerance to Streptomycin and capable of synthesizing its amino acids on limited media can thrive in this situation. Which is F-: StrR, his+ and met+ recombining.
Answer:
The correct option is B. Rr × rr
Explanation:
To illustrate the results, lets make a cross between RR and rr.
r r
R Rr Rr
r rr rr
The results from the following punnet square show that there will be a 50% probability that the offsprings will have heterozygous genotype Rr and they will be round.
The results from the punnet square show that there will be a 50% probability that the offsprings will be recessive and hence will have wrinkled seeds.
The DERMIS, especially the deep reticular layer of dermis, is composed of DENSE IRREGULAR connective tissue.
Dense regular connective tissue is composed of tightly wound fibers of collagen, mainly found in tendons and ligaments.
