<span>Embryos of many different kinds of animals: mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, etc. look very similar and it is often difficult to tell them apart. </span><span>
This shows that the animals are similar and that they develop similarly, implying that they are related, have common ancestors and that they started out the same, gradually evolving different traits, but that the basic plan for a creature's beginning remains the same.</span>
Answer:The correlated trait exercise shows that when two characters are correlated, the optimal values and selection strengths rise and fall together.
Explanation: Correlation refers to statistical (linear) relationship between two random variables. When traits are correlated, change in one is associated with change in the other.
Correlation coefficient (c.c.) measures strength of association between two variables in the same individual or experiment. It can range from -1 to +1. C.c. can be positive, negative or weak.
1. A positive c.c. means that an increase in one variable is associated with an increase in the other variable.
2. A negative c.c. means that an increase in one variable is associated with a decrease in the other.
3. A c.c. near zero indicates a weak relationship between the variables.
Correlation can be represented by scatter plot as shown in the attached image.
This is a scientific question because you could conduct an experiment to test the theory.
Answer:
The correct answer is "all of the above".
Explanation:
The missing options of this question are:
A. The major etiologic factor associated with SC is ultraviolet radiation, principally UV-B.
B. Factors predisposing to SC include skin phenotype, age, male sex, outdoor occupation, rural living, and host immune status.
C. AK and SC serve as clinical dose-meters for chronic UVR exposure.
D. All of the above.
The correct answer is option D. "All of the above".
Solar cheilosis (SC) is a type of precancer of the lower lip, induced by ultraviolet light exposure, particularly by the exposure of UV-B from sunlight. However, UV-B exposure is not the only cause of SC, there are different factor that predispose to the development of this disease, including skin phenotype, age, male sex, outdoor occupation, rural living, and host immune status. Particularly because people with an outdoor occupation is more expose to sunlight and people with an detrimental immunological condition cannot fight SC as easy as a healthy person. According to the scientific article "Epidemiology of actinic keratoses and squamous cell carcinoma" by Salasche SJ., Actinic keratosis (AK) and SC serve as clinical dose-meters for chronic UVR exposure
Answer: C. The environment changed suddenly from a shallow ocean setting to a river system.
Explanation:
The presence of the fossils of shallow oceanic creatures like corals points to the fact that the environment was a shallow ocean at some point. There is also a presence of a layer on top of that which points to a river system.
The fact that the oceanic fossils are beneath the river system layer means that the ocean came first and the river system layer came second. The environment must therefore have been a shallow ocean setting that changed into a river system.
