1 answer:

6 0

The statement is true. Atelectasis is the collapse or closure of a lung resulting in reduced or absent gas exchange. It may effect part or all of a lung. An airway blockage also can cause Atelectasis. A blockage may be due to a foreign object, a mucus plug, lung cancer, or a poorly placed breathing tube from a ventilator. When a blockage occurs, the air that's already in the air sacs is absorbed into the bloodstream.

The island fox shares a common ancestor with the gray fox, Urocyon cinereoargenteus, which is found on the mainland.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Option "B & C"

B: One structural difference between the two species is the reduced size of the island fox, a feature known as dwarfism.

C: The various island subspecies also differ from each other in size, number of tail vertebrae, and other characteristics.

Explanation:

One notable difference between gray foxes and island foxes is the small size of island foxes. This character (dwarfism) was exhibited by the common ancestor of all six island fox subspecies. Note that the northern Channel Island fox subspecies are more closely related to each other than to any of the southern subspecies, and that the southern subspecies are more closely related to each other than to the northern subspecies.
