1) Chordata=A chordate is an animal of the phylum Chordata. All chordates possess 5 synapomorphies, or primary characteristics, at some point during their larval or adulthood stages that distinguish them from all other taxa

2) Vertebrates=vertebrate, also called Craniata, any animal of the subphylum Vertebrata, the predominant subphylum of the phylum Chordata. The vertebrates are also characterized by a muscular system consisting primarily of bilaterally paired masses and a central nervous system partly enclosed within the backbone.

3)Invertebrates=Invertebrates are animals that neither possess nor develop a vertebral column, derived from the notochord. This includes all animals apart from the chordate subphylum Vertebrata. Familiar examples of invertebrates include arthropods, mollusks, annelid, and cnidarians.

4) Poikilothermic animals=A poikilotherm is an animal whose internal temperature varies considerably. Poikilotherms have to survive and adapt to environmental stress.

5) Homeothermic animals=The term homeothermic refers to the warm-blooded animals which have constant and relatively higher temperature. They are animals which can maintain their internal body temperature. Complete answer: Homeothermic animals are warm-blooded and maintain a constant body temperature, for example birds and mammals.

6) Oviparous= producing young by means of eggs which are hatched after they have been laid by the parent, as in birds.

7)Vivaparous=bringing forth live young which have developed inside the body of the parent

The lower respiratory tract or lower airway is derived from the developing foregut and consists of the trachea, bronchi (primary, secondary and tertiary), bronchioles (including terminal and respiratory), and lungs (including alveoli). It also sometimes includes the larynx, which we have done here. This is where gas exchange actually takes place.

qwelly [4]

It draws a conclusion based on what would best explain one's observations.

Inference is the process where logical consequences evolve from premises that are assumed to be true. Knowledge backed with observations and reasoning as evidence is used to make conclusions. It is also referred to as an educated guess and is not necessarily factual.

Expressivity is the term used to describe the balanced genetic output from a hemizygous condition. True or False
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The statement is FALSE.

Explanation:

In genetics, expressivity refers to the amount of variation in a non binary phenotype across individuals, who are carrying a specific genotype. Scientists believed that variable expressivity is controlled by different factors such as environment, genetics and lifestyle choice. An example of expressivity is  a series of blue eye color that has different shades of blue. Thus, expressivity is not about balanced genetic output but varied genetic expression.
