Explanation:
According to National Geographic, ostriches are a part of a very small group of birds that cannot fly because unlike most birds, their small wings are not strong enough to carry their body for flight and their breastbone isn't balanced enough for flying. Birds that are unable to fly are called ratites.
A number of scientists namely Thomas Huxley, Richard Owen, and others have tried to show that these ratites are actually related to each other and eventually, it was discovered that they all had one thing in common, the way the bones at the roof of the mouth were arranged was similar to that of reptiles rather than other birds.
Richard Owen found and assembled the remains of an extinct ostrich skeleton which was an extinct moa and contrary to already held opinion, one ratite known as tinamous did not really fit with the profile of a ratite because it could fly, even though almost grudgingly and they possessed keeled sternum which suggests that they evolved from flying birds.
DNA tests showed that tinamous evolved within ratites and not necessarily as a separate entity. The tests also showed that moas and tinamous are related.
It was also speculated that the division of the supercontinent Pangaea southern side led to the separation of flightless ratite ancestors, causing each landlocked group to evolve and become the flightless birds we know today such as the ostrich, rheas, etc.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Farmers definitely use the information above to plan out their crops from one year to next.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient required for healthy plant growth. Corn is an important food crop and after its cultivation the soil is depleted of its nitrogen. <em>Cultivation of any crop on soils that lack nitrogen will not yield good result.</em>
Thus the nitrogen in the soil has to be replenished. Soybean is a crop that has symbiotic bacteria living on its roots. <em>This bacteria help in fixing atmospheric nitrogen.</em> Thus the nitrogen level will get replenished.
Thus cultivating soybean on the land in the period between <em>harvest and sowing of corn would be a healthy practice that increases yield and maintains soil health. </em>
<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>
- Fitness trade off is the relationship between two factors namely size and reproduction, survival and reproduction,quality and quantity of the eggs etc.
- The size, weight and number of eggs depend on the fitness of the fish. The traits present in the fish plays a key role in the fitness trade off.
- Also the fertility/fecundity is a factor of the trait/allele.
