Answer:
75% would have long stems and 25% would have short stems.
Explanation:
I think that since it lives on the ocean floor, at the deepest of the ocean. So anyway, the fin on the Eurypterids is still necessary but not that much, since they live on the ocean floor. Their movements mostly on the ocean floor. So fin would not help them "stick" to the floor. Also there are still gravity acts on the Eurypterids and the feet would help them move faster. Hope this helps.
Anatomical and molecular features often fit a similar pattern due to Homology. Homology is the existence of shared ancestry between two structures or genes in a different species.
A process that can cause this not to be the case is Convergent Evolution.
Convergent Evolution occurs when two unrelated species independently evolve similar traits to cope with evolutionary changes.
<u>Phenylketonuria</u>
Explanation:
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a type of a rare inherited metabolic disorder.
Etiology: PKU results from excessive accumulation of the amino acid phenylalanine in the body. Normally, phenylalanine will be converted to tyrosine (forms neurotransmitters) by the action of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase.
Among people with PKU, a defect in the PAH gene which codes to synthesize this enzyme occurs which leads to the absence of this enzyme. So the phenylalanine which is normally present in dietary protein is not metabolized and gets accumulated. This gene is inherited by the child only if both the parents are with the defective PAH gene.
Symptoms: Stunted growth, behaviroral disturbances, learning difficulties, seizures, tremors etc.
Treatment: Basic treatment is to follow a diet which limits dietary sources of phenylalanine. High protein foods like meat, egg should be avoided. Children can be given PKU formula to supplement their nutritional needs.
