2. Suppose a paleontologist discovered a fossil skull that he believes might be distantly related to primates. Unlike true prima

tes, the face is not quite flat and the eyes do not face completely forward. The paleontologist would most likely conclude that the animal lacked (1 point) a) the ability to form extended family groups. b) the ability to grip branches precisely. c) the ability to manipulate tools. d) the ability to judge the location of tree branch.

Answer:

d) the ability to judge the location of tree branch.

Explanation:

An anatomical feature for the primates group is the stereoscopic vision, they can recognize shapes because theirs eyes face forward with overlap in the visual fields, as an advantage for an animal that moves in the tops of big trees. Different to the fossil skull because its eyes do not face completely forward. Forward facing eyes give better depth perception and allow  better view of what is in front therefore there is less need for a longer snout and the faces are flatter different to the fossil.

It has been speculated that the face flatter and the eyes face forward have evolved to aid the process of moving through trees from branch to branch and that forward facing eyes are ideal for depth perception because of the need to be able to see exactly what is in front .  this is called as “arboreal locomotion theory”. The fossil discovered couldn´t be very good moving through trees.

In Zambia, which lions are likely to have migrated from a different population?
Margaret [11]
Zambian lions are split into two subpopulations, with one in the Greater Kafue Ecosystem in the west and the other in the Luangwa Valley Ecosystem in the east. Between these two geographically different regions lies Lusaka, Zambia's largest city, which is surrounded by farmland. males travel long distances to find new prides, while females remain in or close to the pride they were born in. So, for the lion, it's primarily males that are responsible for the movement of genes between prides. This male-mediated gene flow explains the lack of gene flow seen in mitochondrial genes compared to that of nuclear genes—female lions aren't making the journey, but they do mate with new males who come from far away.

Iodine is a yellowish solution. A starch solution is white. A starch solution turns purplish-black in the presence of iodine. If
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- the color change will be observed and the solution will turn purplish-black.

Explanation:

Iodine test is performed to test the presence of the carbohydrates mainly starch.

The iodine solution is chemically called potassium iodide which forms a yellow solution. The potassium iodide solution forms a complex with a starch solution which appears a purplish-black color which shows the presence of the carbohydrates.

In the given question, if we add the iodine solution to the beaker after a certain point of time then it will still form a complex with the starch and thus beaker solution will appear darker in color.
