The answer is; warming of ocean water in the east of the Pacific Ocean close to the western coasts of South America.
The warming of the oceanic waters causes a current that pushes the warm waters eastwards of the Pacific Ocean at the equator. This counters and overpowers the prevailing trade winds that blow westwards. The currents bring in storms on the West coast of South America as the currents exchange heat with the atmosphere .
Answer:
The correct answer is B. clavicle articulates with the manubrium of the sternum.
Explanation:
The clavicle is an anterior bone whose sternal end articulates with the manubrium of the sternum at the sternoclavicular joint. The sternal end is also anchored to the first rib by the costoclavicular ligament. The medial end, also known as the sternal end of the clavicle, has a triangular shape and articulates with the manubrium portion of the sternum. This forms the sternoclavicular joint, which is the only bony articulation between the pectoral girdle of the upper limb and the axial skeleton.
If purple is dominant, the genotype of the purple flower could be PP or Pp, as both would give a purple colour. However, if the crossed flower turned out to be white, we could say with certainty that the genotype of the purple flower is Pp as the genotype of the white crossed flower would be pp, which would not be possible if the purple flower's genotype was PP.
The new organism should be placed with the bird group based upon the homology obtained by the genomic data. This would imply a shared common ancestor. The trait shared with bats but not birds could be an analogous trait.
