Answer:

The correct answer would be - Classification of the organism and characteristics of the spines.

Explanation:

Homology is the term that used to describe the similarities in between biological structures or the organs in 2 or more distinct organism that comes from a common ancestors.

Homoplasy in other hand does not share a common lineage and evolve over the period in different organism, most likely in response of natural selection.

Information one will need to determine whether these spines are result of homoplasy or homology would be the characteristics of spines if they are thorns or spikes and other characters. The second most important information is the classification to know the place on the cladogram.

Thus, the correct answer would be- Classification of the organism and characteristics of the spines.

In a population of tree frogs, the allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y). I
Alex787 [66]

Allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y)

Y = 85% = 0.85 and

y = 100% - 85% = 15% = 0.15

f(y) = square root of y = √y = √0.15 = 0.387

frequency of the allele that causes orange eyes = 0.387

Once we know the value of y, Y + y = 1

Putting the value of y, we get

Y = 1 – 0.387

<span>Frequency of the dominant allele that causes yellow eyes = 0.61</span>

Place the following events of excitation in the correct order. 1) ion channels on the sarcolemma open and sodium ions enter the
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

4, 3 5, 1, 2.

Explanation:

The events of muscle contraction begins from the presynaptic neuron, which cause the influx of Ca+, and the release of acetycholine neurotransmitter  into the synaptic cleft.

The Ach, binds with the receptors in the sarcolemma, leading to opening of Ligand gated Na+ channels. Therefore Na+diffuses in, causing depolarization, and propagation of action potential along the sarcolemma  spreading to the  T-tubules.

This is followed by opening of Calcium channels leading  exist of Ca+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

The Calcium binds with the troponin, and  Tropomysoin exposed the myosin binding sites  on the actin filament.Thus cross-bridge is formed by the myosin head  with thin filaments which   shortened the sarcomere, leading to contraction of muscle fibres.
