Answer:

Opposing thumbs, expressive faces, complex social systems: it's hard to miss the similarities between apes and humans. Now a new study with a troop of zoo baboons and lots of peanuts shows that a less obvious trait -- the ability to understand numbers -- also is shared by humans and their primate cousins.

"The human capacity for complex symbolic math is clearly unique to our species," says co-author Jessica Cantlon, assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester. "But where did this numeric prowess come from? In this study we've shown that non-human primates also possess basic quantitative abilities. In fact, non-human primates can be as accurate at discriminating between different quantities as a human child."

"This tells us that non-human primates have in common with humans a fundamental ability to make approximate quantity judgments," says Cantlon. "Humans build on this talent by learning number words and developing a linguistic system of numbers, but in the absence of language and counting, complex math abilities do still exist."

Cantlon, her research assistant Allison Barnard, postdoctoral fellow Kelly Hughes, and other colleagues at the University of Rochester and the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester, N.Y., reported their findings online May 2 in the open-access journal Frontiers in Comparative Psychology. The study tracked eight olive baboons, ages 4 to 14, in 54 separate trials of guess-which-cup-has-the-most-treats. Researchers placed one to eight peanuts into each of two cups, varying the numbers in each container. The baboons received all the peanuts in the cup they chose, whether it was the cup with the most goodies or not. The baboons guessed the larger quantity roughly 75 percent of the time on easy pairs when the relative difference between the quantities was large, for example two versus seven. But when the ratios were more difficult to discriminate, say six versus seven, their accuracy fell to 55 percent.

That pattern, argue the authors, helps to resolve a standing question about how animals understand quantity. Scientists have speculated that animals may use two different systems for evaluating numbers: one based on keeping track of discrete objects -- a skill known to be limited to about three items at a time -- and a second approach based on comparing the approximate differences between counts.

What unusual property do cytochromes have in common with hemoglobin or myoglobin?
Ghella [55]
The unusual property that cytochromes have in common with hemoglobin or myoglobin is that all of them contain heme groups. Cytochromes are heme-containing electron transport enzymes which are essential for the oxidative metabolism necessary to generate adenosine triphosphateas well as for the oxidative degradation of drugs and endogenous substrates.

Xelga [282]
One of the main differences between butter and canola oil is that are room temperature one is a solid and the other is a liquid. This change in phase is due to the bonding between carbon bonds, the more double bonds that there are present the higher the melting point and the fluidity changes. Based on this the correct answer is C=C is found in canola oil while more C-C bonds are found in butter, making option 2 (C=C) the correct answer. In addition option 3 (C=H) can be ignored since hydrogen can only make single bonds. hope this helps:)
