In 1798, a stuffed platypus specimen was delivered tothe British Museum. Reports that it laid eggs createdmuch confusion. To modern biologists, a platypus isclearly a mammal. It has fur and the females producemilk. Young animals have typical mammalian teeth thatare replaced by hardened pads of the “bill” as the animalmatures. Why do you think modern biologists can moreeasily accept that a mammal can have some reptileliketraits than scientists who were considering this animal inthe late 1700s?
In vertebrates, what anatomical structure partially or completely replaces the notochord? 1.) lateral-line system 2.) cartilage or a bony skeleton 3.) endostyle 4.) dorsal hallow nerve cord

Professor Andrew, a paleontologist discovers a transitional fossil between a stem amniote and mammal. In 150 words express on what group of animals this might have belonged to and on their major antomical features !
Insects have three thoracic (trunk) segments. While researchershave found insect fossils with pairs of wings on all threesegments, modern insects have wings or related structureson only the second and third segment. It turns out thatin modern insects, Hox gene products act to inhibit wingformation on the first segment. The treehopper insect (above)is somewhat of an exception. In addition to having wingson its second segment, the treehopper’s first segment has anornate helmet that resembles a set of thorns, which a recentstudy has found to be a modified, fused pair of “wings.” Thethorn-like structure helps to camouflage the treehopper intree branches, thus reducing its risk of predation. Explain howchanges in gene regulation could have led to the evolution ofsuch a structure.
11. Vestigial structures are body parts that seemingly have no purpose or function. They once did, but somewhere along the way they lost their functions and are now basically useless. The existence of vestigial structures is on of the strongest evidences of evolution. Which of the following is NOT an example of vestigial structure? * a. Coccyx from the lower portion of the vertebra of human. b. Appendix is a narrow tube that extends from cecum. c. Hair like projections in the nose are called vibrissae. d. Body hair on the chest of man. 12. Rice is a staple food in the Philippines. There are various type of rice in the country, and Filipinos call them by local names such as laon, wagwag, sinandomeng, and angelica. These are some of the different varieties of the rice plant with the scientific name Oryza sativa. yet they all differ. Human intervention can change organism into different or…
How humans learn and remember things is still one of the major unsolvedbiological mysteries. Much of what is currently understood about learning andmemory and the biological basis of behaviour comes from the study ofinvertebrates, including the gastropod molluscs. Describe the types ofexperiments that have been performed on gastropods and the extent to whicheach has increased our understanding of how animals learn.
