Why do three species have similarities and differences in their body structure, and how can Xiao use the structures to determine

if the new fossil is more closely related to hippopotamus or green iguanas?

Answer:  Xiao can use these structures to create a similarity matrix that enables to differentiate between synapomorphies and homoplasies .

Explanation: A synapomorphy is a trait that has been inherited from the same ancestor, this trait enables to establish a relation of homology between two or more species; while a homoplasy is an analog structure that doesn't have homology.

The diagram is not given in the question, so the diagram is attached below.

Answer:

chloroplast, thylakoid  space

Explanation:

The photosynthesis process is categorized in two steps light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions.

In light-dependent reaction, chlorophyll absorbs one photon and loses one electron. This initiates the flow of electrons down an electron transport chain and result into reduction of NADP to NADPH.

Along with this, it creates a proton gradient or concentration across the chloroplast membrane and into the thylakoid  space. The proton concentration or energy gradient is then used by ATP synthase for the synthesis of ATP and cellular respiration.

Hence, the correct answer is chloroplast and thylakoid  space

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

2) is chemically specific

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic catalysts which speed up or control chemical reactions in cells. Enzymes are specific in the reactions they catalyze. An enzyme will only catalyze one specific reaction or a group of closely related reaction. Enzyme salivary amylase found in the mouth only hydrolyses starch into maltose.

Jet lag occurs when a person moves rapidly from one time zone to another, causing conflict between the body's biological rhythm
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

c) melatonin

Explanation:

Melatonin its a hormone formed by the pineal gland, which regulates an individual wake cycles and sleep. Jetlag alters the hormone function leading to an alteration with the body clock of the persom.

Jetlag is a sleep disorder common to those who travel swiftly over several time zones. It is not a permanent sleep disorder. Its due to the body's internal clock lacking sync with cues generated in a different time zone, Cues may be due to light exposure and how often the person eats.

A basic factor on ones internal clock is sunlight. It controls the regulation of melatonin which aid in synchronizing cells in the body.

Specific cells of the tissue at retina moves the light signals the thypothalamus.

At night, the hypothalamus signal to the pineal gland to produce melatonin. At daylight hours, the reverse is the case.

The enzyme telomerase is part protein and part RNA. What would be the most likely effect of a large deletion in the gene that en
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: option A, B and D

Explanation:

The telomeres found at the terminal ends of eukaryotic chromosomes are long repetitive sequences that protects the DNA from being identify as a damage molecule to encourage fusion with other chromosomes. Since replication does not extend down to these 3' ends, the cell recruits the telomerase enzyme which is a ribonucleoprotein that helps to add telomeric repeats using its own RNA component as template to extend this end. Thus if mutation like a large deletion occurs in the gene encoding for this enzyme, the telomerase would not be able to associate correctly with the telomere, the catalytic center also encoding for its RNA polymerase would be altered and the enzymes will not be able to synthesize new telomeric repeats sequences

​a client with hypovolemia has been prescribed intravenous fluid at 125ml/hr. the iv site to provide hydration has infiltrated.
Levart [38]

The following are the steps the nurse would take to treat the infiltrated site:  

1. Stop the infusion and remove the catheter

2. Elevate the extremity

3. Encourage an active range of motion

4. Apply a cold or warm compress depending on the solution infusing

5. Restart the infusion proximal to the location or in another extremity

Now, in order to address hydration requirements of the client, the nurse will have to begin a novel peripheral intravenous in another extremity or to again start the infusion if intravenous access has been created.
