The pre-australopith fossils are especially significant because they challenge some of the long-standing explanations of our evolutionary history. Describe two reasons the pre-australopiths force us to rethink the savanna hypothesis in particular. (Hint: Think about the anatomical traits of the pre-australopiths and the environmental and temporal context in which they lived.)
Two important reasons are listed here:
- Pre-australopithecines show evidence of bipedalism but they lived in forested areas
- Ardipithecus ramidus is a human ancestor that lived in a wooded environment approximately 4.2 to 4.5 million years ago
The savanna hypothesis states that early hominid traits were selected in response to increased aridity conditions and the emergence of savanna landscapes (i.e., open grasslands), as forests receded. This hypothesis enables us to understand better the evolution of bipedalism.
Pre-Australopithecines represent the oldest hominids that date from at least 7 to 4.4 million years ago (mya), depending on the species. Pre-australopithecines show evidence of bipedalism (and/or dentition similar to the later hominins who exhibit bipedalism), but it has been shown that they lived in forested areas. Therefore, this observation contradicts the savanna hypothesis which states that bipedalism evolved as an adaptation to the savanna.
Ardipithecus ramidus is a human ancestor dating to between 4.5 and 4.2 mya. The Ardipithecus ramidus fossils were discovered in Ethiopia alongside faunal remains, thereby indicating they lived in a wooded environment. In consequence, Ardipithecus ramidus fossils contradict the open savanna explanation for the origin of bipedalism.

which is an example of incomplete dominance?
a] A red flower and a yellow flower mating to produce a yellow flower.
b] A red flower and a yellow flower mating to produce a red flower.
c] A red flower and a yellow flower mating to produce an orange flower.
d] A orange flowers mating to produce an orange flower.
Answer:
c] A red flower and a yellow flower mating to produce an orange flower.
Explanation:
An incomplete dominance in biological terms means a situation where one allele doesn't totally take the expression in a gene, but rather the two parental traits combine to form a secondary trait. As a result of this, a third phenotype comes up, with the physical trait being a mix of the phenotype of the parents.
Therefore, an example of incomplete dominance is a red flower and a yellow flower mating to produce an orange flower.
Answer:D
Explanation:
D is a Orange with orange meaning its incomplete dominance because it both the same theres no other color dominance the other

A.Assembly of RNAP onto the DNA strand
B.Identification and binding of RNAP on to the promoter sequence
C.Conversion of open initiation complex to closed initiation complex
D.Synthesis of RNA after the formation of open initiation complex
Answer
D
The transcription factors and RNA polymerase form a complex called the transcription initiation complex. This complex initiates transcription, and the RNA polymerase begins mRNA synthesis by matching complementary bases to the original DNA strand.

The immunoglobulin light chain does not have a D segment. In humans, there are two different possible light chain proteins, termed kappa and lambda. Assume that there are 35 V segments and 5 J segments in the human kappa light chain region, and there are 30 V segments and 4 J segments in the human lambda light chain region. How many possible light chain genes can be created from these different segments, simply due to combinatorial diversity
Answer:
295
Explanation:
Antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins) are immune system-related proteins that circulate in the bloodstream in order to recognize pathogenic harmful substances (antigens) and neutralize them. An antibody consists of two immunoglobulin heavy chains and two immunoglobulin light chains. There are two types of immunoglobulin light chains: 1-the kappa (κ) light chain, which is encoded by the immunoglobulin κ locus; and 2-the lambda (λ) light chain, which is encoded by the immunoglobulin λ locus. The immunoglobulin light chain is a multidomain protein composed of two domains: 1- the N-terminal variable (V) domain and 2-the C-terminal constant (C) domain. V(D)J recombination is a type of somatic rearrangement process by which T and B cells can assemble different gene segments, which are referred to as variable (V), diversity (D) and joining (J) gene segments. In the question above the number of possible genomic recombination events between immunoglobulin gene segments can be calculated as >> (5 x 35) + (4 x 30) = 295.
The second generation of purebred cross of -hom-ozygo us recessive organism, with a —hom-ozygous dominant organism, contain a ratio of approximately _______ expressed dominant traits to recessive traits.
A. 2:1
B. 1:1
C. 1:3
D. 3:1
Answer:
D. 3:1
Explanation:
Gregor Mendel, in one of his numerous studies, performed a cross between purebred dominant (TT) pea plants and purebred recessive (tt) pea plants. All the offsprings of this cross appeared heterozygous tall (Tt) in the F1 generation.
However, when he self-crossed the F1 generation i.e. Tt × Tt, Mendel obtained a phenotypic ratio of 3 tall plants (dominant traits) : 1 short plant (recessive). This showed that the masked gene (recessive) was still present.

In this experiment, you are looking at the effect of various germicides on microbial growth. The organism that you are using for this experiment is baking yeast, which is a eukaryote. Do you think that this organism would be more or less susceptible to the various germicides than a prokaryotic organism, such as bacteria?
Answer:
Less susceptible.
Explanation:
This organism would be less susceptible to the various germicides than a prokaryotic organism, such as bacteria because the form and structure of eukaryotic organism is different from the prokaryotic organism so the germicides no or less affected the eukaryotic organism so we can say that the the eukaryotic organism which is used in baking would be less susceptible to the various germicides than a prokaryotic organism.

Explanation:
Intercostal nerves Group of answer choices are also known as cervical nerves. do not enter into a plexus and directly connect to the structures they supply. are found in the C6-T4 area of the vertebral column. extend through the sacrum. do not exist in humans.
Answer:
The correct answer is: do not enter into a plexus and directly connect to the structures they supply.
Explanation:
The anterior rami of the thoracic spinal nerves from T1 to T11 give birth to the intercostal nerves, which are part of the somatic nervous system.
The intercostal nerves supply the thoracic pleura and abdominal peritoneum, and they vary from the anterior rami of the other spinal nerves in that they each take their own path without forming a plexus, directly connecting to the structures they supply.
The intercostal nerves are derived from the somatic nervous system, unlike the autonomic nervous system nerves that innervate the visceral pleura of the thoracic cavity. They can govern muscle contractions and give sensory information about the skin and parietal pleura as a result of this. This explains why damage to the thoracic cavity's interior wall can be felt as a severe discomfort in the damaged area. Damage to the visceral pleura causes a pain that is not localized.
EVOLUTION CONNECTION The history of life has been punctuated by several mass extinctions. For example, the impact of a meteorite may have wiped out most of the dinosaurs and many forms of marine life at the end of the Cretaceous period. Fossils indicate that plants were less severely affected by this mass extinction. What adaptations may have enabled plants to withstand this disaster better than animals
Answer:
Dissaster like meteorite impacted all type of living forms, however, animals are impacted the most and plants are impacted least. It is possible due to ability of plants to prepare their food on their own as they are autotrophic and use photosynthesis. The raw material for preparing these are easily available that are sunlight, CO2 and water.
They are not depende on other for their cellular respiration. The other major reason is that the Plant seeds can remain dormant in unfavorable conditions for many years in the soil. The roots always provide nutrition even the stems get effected.
What do you think will happen to the convention currents in the mantle if the interior of Earth eventually cools down
Answer:
No convention currents occur.
Explanation:
If the interior part of the Earth is cool down, it will leads to convection currents to stop. Due to this cool down of the earth's interior part cease the motion of the plates and the Earth would become geologically dead. Convection currents within the Earth's mantle occurs when the hot material rising upwards and then dropping back toward the core due to cooling so if the mantle is cool so no movement occurs as well as no convention currents.

Erythrocytes have no nuclei. Without nuclei, erythrocytes can carry a higher amount of haemoglobin explain how this is an advantage in exchanging and carrying oxygen
Answer:
The correct answer is - hemoglobin binds with respiratory gases such as oxygen so more hemoglobin will carry more oxygen .
Explanation:
Red blood cells have adapted the trait of having no nucleus for several reasons but the major reason is to increase the amount of hemoglobin so this can carry more oxygen to various parts of the body from lungs. If there will be more hemoglobin then it will allows RBC to transfer more oxygen.
Hemoglobin is the respiratory pigment that has four heme group, containing iron ion, arround globin group, each iron ion in the heme can bind to one oxygen molecule; So one molecule of hemoglobin can transport four oxygen molecules as it binds with oxygen.
