Answer:

You are not surprised, because as a veterinarian you know that the lung of lizards must be more developed than that of frogs, because reptiles depend exclusively on lung breathing.

Explanation:

Caterpillars are reptiles, while frogs are amphibians. This information alone allows us to conclude because the internal surface of the lizard's lung is larger than the internal surface of the frog's lung.

This is because, as we know, reptiles depend exclusively on lung breathing, excluding the need for breathing through the skin (as is done by amphibians). This makes the lungs of the reptiles much more developed, presenting larger and more complex structures with a large number of internal surfaces and alveoli.

Amphibians, on the other hand, perform breathing through the skin, helping the lungs, which need not be as developed and complex.

Nostrana [21]

Botox injections comprise Botulinum toxin and is used in the treatment of some kind of eye ailments, like strabismus (crossed eyes) and blepharospasm (involuntary blinking), to treat movement disorders (like torticollis, cervical dystonia) or muscle spasms/stiffness. It can also be used to minimize the cosmetic appearances of wrinkles.

However, due to certain side effects, the drug was ban by FDA, but it has been approved by the FDA for treating spasms of the flexor muscles. Although, there is a scenario that the claim for the application of the drug could be rejected in case of a lack of a medical necessity, that is if it does not fulfil the usual accepted professional medical standards of care.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

O With training, the puppies are likely to excel at agility competitions.

O Without training, the puppies are no more likely to succeed at agility competitions than any other dog.

Explanation:

This two options speaks the same thing and are the correct option.

The phenotype of an organism is a product of genotype and environment

P=G+E

The litters can inherit the trait of running, having a good vigour and ability to win agility competition but when the environment do not allow this trait to be expressed the trait can be masked i. e may not find expression.

The environment ensure that this litters are been taught the rudiment of agility competition to ensure they win if they are not been taught, they many not know they have the ability to win and will not be different from other dogs.

The training is what brings out the potential in them that can later be seen and expressed in the competition.
