While distinctly Anthropoids, some Platyrrhines maintain a few of traits that are typically represented only in Prosimians. For

this question, identify the seemingly primitive traits and discuss how their presence in both Platyrrhines and Prosimians may reflect an example of convergent (parallel) evolution. (150-250 wds)

Convergent evolution is the concept of two or more species evolving similar traits despite being completely unrelated to one another, including the absence of a common ancestor.

The Platyrrhines, more commonly known as "New World Monkeys", share many characteristics with the Prosimians. Some of these include:

  • Teeth layout
  • Diet
  • Eyesight
  • Sleeping habits

and more.

The Platyrrhines and the Prosimians are both nocturnal animals. Despite all other members of their family being active during the day, the Playrrhines have evolved nocturnal habits similar to that of the Prosimians. Aside from that, they<u> feed on insects</u> more so than fruit, which is reflected by the layout of their teeth, and have eyesight well adapted to dark conditions. All of these are traits they share with the Prosimians.

Despite being in different ecosystems and regions, and sharing no recent common ancestors, both of these species <u>have evolved strikingly similar traits.</u> This can be used to corroborate the theory of convergent evolution, which explains how <u>two </u><u>species </u><u>can </u><u>evolve</u><u> very similar </u><u>traits </u><u>despite being unrelated.</u>

Victor put a match on a balance and found that its mass was 6.0 grams. Then he lit the match and put it out after a few seconds.

Answer: It releases oxygen and heat. The answer is C

Stored inside the match head is another chemical called “potassium chlorate”. When it gets hot, it releases a lot of extra oxygen and heat. This makes the match head burn quickly and strongly. When you put it all together the heat, the fuel, and the oxygen  you get a flame. Matter does not go when something is set on fire. Matter is always the same.  Burning is a chemical process. The flames are caused as a result of a fuel undergoing combustion (burning). (CC BY-SA 2.5; Einar Helland Berger for fire and Walter Siegmund for ash).

Answer: "Let's review your medication history and whether you consume bladder irritants."

Explanation:

Bladder irritants such as caffeine or alcohol can aggravate urge incontinence, which can occur if diuretics taken in the morning.

The nurse will begin by analysing those factors affecting the bladder irritants. Without further consideration the nurse should not dismiss this as an isolated case. This is too early to refer the person to the healthcare provider, or prescribe undergarments for incontinence.

Hence, the suitable statement by nurse is "Let's review your medication history and whether you consume bladder irritants."
