Answer:

a) Las raíces superficiales y extensas

c) El cuerpo carnoso de las plantas

d) Las hojas modificadas en forma de espina

Explanation:

En biología, una adaptación refiere al proceso de cambio evolutivo mediante el cual los organismos de una especie/taxón hacen frente a determinadas condiciones ambientales. Las plantas han desarrollado diferentes adaptaciones en ambientes desérticos a fin de evitar al máximo la pérdida de agua, el factor más limitante en este tipo de ambientes. Las plantas capaces de soportar largos periodos de sequías se denominan xerófitas. En primer lugar, además de servir como una buena defensa contra herbívoros, las hojas en forma de espina le permiten a una planta almacenar agua durante los períodos de precipitaciones. En segundo lugar, las raíces de plantas desérticas pueden disponerse superficialmente con el objetivo de absorber la mayor cantidad de agua posible. En tercer lugar, las plantas suculentas o crasas son aquellas que tienen tejidos carnosos los cuales pueden almacenar agua en sus hojas, tallos o raíces. Durante los periodos de lluvia leve, las suculentas almacenan grandes cantidades de agua para sobrevivir durante la temporada seca (incluso existen especies vegetales que sobreviven solamente durante la temporada húmeda y producen semillas que toleran la temporada seca).

Answer:

El enfisema pulmonar disminuye la cantidad de tejido pulmonar, disminuyendo de este modo la cantidad de oxígeno que llega a la sangre (hipoxemia). El enfisema está asociado a diferentes trastornos incluyendo infecciones respiratorias recurrentes, pérdida de peso, debilidad muscular e hinchazón de los miembros inferiores.

Explanation:

El enfisema pulmonar es una enfermedad causada por la destrucción de los alvéolos pulmonares la cual está asociada a un aumento en la dificultad para respirar. Las principales causas de esta enfermedad son la exposición continua al humo del cigarrillo y otras sustancias nocivas para la salud, como así también a contaminantes presentes en la atmósfera. El enfisema pulmonar va progresivamente destruyendo las paredes alveolares pulmonares y los vasos sanguíneos que las recorren, disminuyendo así la elasticidad pulmonar, aumentando la proporción de aire que recorre los pulmones y de este modo también aumentando la distensibilidad pulmonar. Esta enfermedad disminuye la capacidad de oxigenar la sangre, generando una sensación constante de falta de aire (disnea) y cuadros progresivamente más severos de hipoxemia. Cuando el enfisema pulmonar se encuentra en grado avanzado, la única opción viable es el reemplazo del órgano dañado mediante un trasplante pulmonar. El enfisema puede estar asociado a infecciones respiratorias recurrentes (resfriados, gripe), pérdida de peso, debilidad muscular e hinchazón de los miembros inferiores (tobillos, pies y piernas).

DNA copying is otherwise known as DNA replication which is the process of producing 2 identical copies of DNA from one original DNA molecule during cell division. DNA copying is important because it generates variation during sexual reproduction which leads to evolution. Also, DNA copying helps in transfer of information or characters from the parents to the offsprings.

Mendel studied traits with only one mode of inheritance in pea plants. The inheritance of the traits he studied all followed the relatively simple pattern of dominant and recessive alleles for a single characteristic. There are several important modes of inheritance, discovered after Mendel’s work, that do not follow the dominant and recessive, single-gene model.

Answer:

Oxidation of rocks (rusting)/Chemical weathering

Answer:

lichens, hearty shrubs, trees

Explanation:

Order:

I-bare rocks,

II-pioneers (mosses, lichen, algae, fungi)

III-annual herbaceous plants

IV-perennial herbaceous plants and grasses

V-shrubs, VI-shade intolerant trees, VII-shade tolerant trees.

(please mark me brainliest) :)

Lichens, hearty shrubs, and trees is the correct order in which the organisms return to an ecosystem during primary succession after an area's ecosystem has been wiped out. Thus, the correct option is C.

Primary succession is the ecological succession which begins in essentially the lifeless areas, such as the regions in which there is no soil or where the soil is incapable of sustaining life where no life form ever existed because of recent volcanic eruption, newly formed sand dunes, or rocks that are left from a retreating glaciers.

The correct order of the Primary Succession is:

Stage I- Bare rocks,

Stage II- Pioneer species such as mosses, lichen, algae, and fungi

Stage III- Annual herbaceous plants

Stage IV- Perennial herbaceous plants and grasses

Stage V- Shrubs, shade intolerant trees, and shade tolerant trees.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Complete question:

This Roman snail, this cuttlefish, and this mussel have similarities and

differences in their body structures. What does the information about these

structures tell you about the ancestors of these species?

a) None share an ancestor population because different species cannot share  an ancestor population. It is a coincidence that these species have some of  the same body structures.

b) The Roman snail and the cuttlefish share an ancestor population, but they  must not share an ancestor with mussels because mussels have no radula.

c) All three species share an ancestor population, but Roman snails and

cuttlefish share a more recent ancestor population. This is why they share

the radula structure.

d) We cannot make observations of ancestor populations from the past. It is

impossible to explain ancestors with only the information about the body

structures of different species.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. All three species share an ancestor population, but Roman snails and  cuttlefish share a more recent ancestor population. This is why they share  the radula structure.

Explanation:

The three species belong to the mollusk phylum, and to the placophore group.

Each of them belongs to a different class.

The tree classes share a common ancestor from which all the placophores evolved. Among them, we can mention the monoplacophore, gasteropod, cephalopod, bivalve, and scaphopods. Three branches diverged from this common ancestor. The first one originated the monoplacophore. The second one originated the common ancestor of gastropods and cephalopods. And the third one originated the common ancestor of bivalves and scaphopods. The tree-mentioned species inherited the mantle and the radula from their foreign common ancestor. But later in time, individuals that originated bivalves lost the radulla. This is why the three species have a mantle, but only gastropods and cephalopods have a radula. When each of these classes evolved, they developed their own traits,

Complete question:

Consider these phylogenetic trees. The first tree is based on physical characteristics. The second tree is based on structure, genetics, and evolutionary history.  Which can be concluded from a comparison of the two phylogenetic trees?

Answer:

2. Classification can change with new discoveries and evidence.

Explanation:

In phylogenetic trees, two species are more related if they have a recent common ancestor. On the other hand, two species will be less related if their common ancestor is not a recent one and is located far away in the tree.  

The phylogenetic tree is composed of,

• Lineages → These are the taxonomic groups of interest placed in the extremes of the lines called branches.  

• Nodes → These are the ramification points, which are also known as divergence points. They represent the location of the most recent common ancestor.  

• Root → This is the older common ancestor that all lineages share. The first one in the tree.  

Two or more lineages are more related to each other if they share a recent common ancestor. This means that they all diverge from the same node.

Two or more lineages are less related to each other if they lack a recent common ancestor. This is, the node from which these lineages diverge is placed far away in the tree.  

There are also different phylogenetic relationships between lineages.  

• Apomorphies  

• Plesiomorphies

• Homoplasy  

In the exposed example, we have two trees.

Tree 1 reflects that the three species share a common ancestor that is far away in history. From this common ancestor (the blue point in the image), the duck first diverged. Later in evolution, Platypus diverged, and finally, Opossum diverged. The three species are morphologically well-differentiated from each other.

Tree 2 suggests a common ancestor of the three species (the blue point in the image), placed far away in history. From this common ancestor, the duck first diverged. But later in evolution, there was a second branch that diverged, and later originated Platypus and Opossum. According to the information provided by structure, genetics, and evolutionary history, Platypus and Opossum share a most recent common ancestor (the red point in the image).

Both trees provide equally important information. However, tree 2 is more detailed about evolutionary events because it involves many aspects of the animals´ history. Using one of the trees or the other, or both, will depend on the goals of the experiment.

The conclusion we can get from this comparison is that as long as there are discoveries and scientific advances, there will be a constant influx of information useful to recreate or explain evolution. Classification will keep changing with discoveries and evidence.

that's totally understandable that landforms is not have any biodiversity and biology so that's the answer but I am not sure so I hope it helps u thanks

Geomorphology studies landforms and their evolution. Qualitatively, landforms have been described, and numerically, forces acting on Earth's surface to create landforms and change them. Therefore, it's false.

The scientific study of the formation and development of topographic and bathymetric features formed by physical, chemical, or biological processes occurring at or near the surface of the Earth is called geomorphology.

Geomorphic processes are those that alter the way the earth's surface is arranged and are responsible for the field of study known as geomorphology. Endogenic geomorphic processes include both continental drift and volcanic activity. The processes of mass wasting, weathering, erosion, and deposition fall under the category of exogenic geomorphic processes.
