Answer: Annelida

Leeches are soft bodied segmented parasitic worms. They belong to the phylum Annelida. They are hermaphrodites which means they exhibit sex organs of both male and female.

The characteristics which are found in leeches which group them into Annelida are:

1. The body of the leeches are bilaterally symmetrical like other Annelids. The body organs are also segmented.

2. They have a closed circulatory system in which the heart pumps the blood to all the parts of the body.

3. Leeches either exhibit a protusible pharynx or proboscis which allows them to suck the blood of the host such features are also common in other Annelids.

What did rosenberg and trevathan discover in their study comparing human and nonhuman primate birth?
melamori03 [73]
When comparing the birth patterns of humans and non-human primate, Rosenberg and Trevathan discovered some very clear differences:

1. The human period of labour and child birth is exceptionally long and painful compared to other non-human primates.
E.g. a human labour can last anywhere from 10-20 hours while that of a chimpanzee lasts only 2 hours.

2. Humans have the ability to walk straight, the trade off however is that it is extremely difficult and painful to give birth to a big brained human baby.

Vsevolod [243]
The correct answers are B & C. Silicon-32 is the parent isotope, which decays into phosphorus-32 (daughter isotope). The silicon-32 amount is halved every 170 years, so we can use this to determine how old the rock is. The amount of phosphorus-32 increases over time, but it is not equal to the amount of silicon-32.
