Answer:
As an embryo develops, identical cells give rise to specialized cells that perform different functions.
Explanation:
As an embryo develops, the cells divide, giving new ones. As the cells grow and continue to reproduce themselves, they differentiate, becoming specialized cells. These cells will be located in a particular part of the embryo and will perform a specific function. The shape, size, and organelles vary according to their role.
1. How many layers are there in an arthropod's exoskeleton? What is the main function of
each layer?
Explanation:
The exoskeleton and molting
The success of arthropods derives in large part from the evolution of their unique, nonliving, organic, jointed exoskeleton (see figure), which not only functions in support but also provides protection and, with the muscle system, contributes to efficient locomotion. The exoskeleton is composed of a thin, outer protein layer, the epicuticle, and a thick, inner, chitin–protein layer, the procuticle. In most terrestrial arthropods, such as insects and spiders, the epicuticle contains waxes that aid in reducing evaporative water loss. The procuticle consists of an outer exocuticle and an inner endocuticle. In the exocuticle there is cross-bonding of the chitin–protein chains (tanning), which provides additional strength to the skeletal material. The hardness of various parts of the exoskeleton in different arthropods is related to the thickness and degree of tanning of the exocuticle. In crustaceans, additional rigidity is achieved by having the exoskeleton impregnated with varying amounts of calcium carbonate.

The formation of an exoskeleton required the simultaneous solution of two functional problems in the evolution of arthropods: If the animal is encased in a rigid covering, how can it grow and how can it move? The problem of growth is solved in arthropods by molting, or ecdysis, the periodic shedding of the old exoskeleton. The underlying cells release enzymes that digest the base of the old exoskeleton (much of the endocuticle) and then secrete a new exoskeleton beneath the old one. At the time of actual shedding, the old skeleton splits along specific lines characteristic of the group, and the animal pulls out of the old skeleton as from a suit of clothes. The old skeleton is usually abandoned but in some species is eaten. The new exoskeleton, which is soft and flexible, is then stretched by localized, elevated blood pressure augmented by the intake of water or air. Hardening occurs by stretching and especially by tanning within a number of hours of molting. In crustaceans, calcium carbonate is deposited into the new procuticle. (Soft-shell crabs are simply newly molted crabs.) Additional endocuticle may be added to the exoskeleton for some days or weeks following molting.

Molting is under hormonal control, and there is a long preparatory phase that precedes the process. The steroid hormone ecdysone, secreted by specific endocrine centres and circulated in the blood, is the direct initiator of molting. The actual timing of a molt, however, is regulated by other hormones and commonly by environmental factors. The interval between molts is called an instar. Because of the frequency of molts, instars are short early in life but grow longer with increasing age. Some arthropods, such as most spiders and insects, stop molting when they reach sexual maturity; others, like lobsters and crabs, molt throughout their lives. Most of the larger spiders of temperate regions, for example, molt about 10 times before reaching sexual maturity. As a result of molting, the length and volume of an arthropod display steplike increases over the life span, but internal tissue growth is continual as in other animals.
Loss of a limb is a common hazard in the life of many arthropods. Indeed, some arthropods, such as crabs, are capable of amputating an appendage if it is seized by a predator. The limb is then regenerated from a small, nipplelike rudiment formed at the site of the lost limb. The new limb develops beneath the old exoskeleton during the premolt period and then appears when the animal molts.

Answer: G. Horses slowly developed over time
Explanation:
If only one species is considered the 'fittest', why do we still have so many variation among species?
Answer:
Variation occurs in species with the genes resulting in the traits and physical characteristics that make it possible for them to be among the fittest for a number of reasons:
1. Mutation
2. Recombination and
3. Migration
Explanation:
Mutations: A mutation is a deviation from the norm in a DNA sequence. It can be stimulated by errors during the DNA replication process which happens as the cell is dividing, or by exposure to ionizing radiation, chemicals, or viral infection (whether artificial or natural).
It is noteworthy that naturally, without any human intervention, the possibility of a spontaneous mutation is very low.
Recombination: This refers to the creation of new fusion of genes in the offspring that did not occur in the parents by the processes of crossing-over and independent assortment. Independent assortment meaning that the allele the gamete received for one gene was not influenced by the allele received for another gene.
Migration: Variation by migration here refers to the introduction of new genes from into one population by another. This could happen when a new population arrives at an existing one or when an existing one migrates to another population.
We can say for example that, genes from Americans have “migrated” into the population of African origin in America given the continuous immigration of Africans into America.
So in both populations, there are very fit species, but when their genes are mixed during cross-reproduction, variation arises.

Which explains how interference is avoided between the signals that cordless phones receive and the signals that they broadcast?
Answer:
the signals have different frequency
Explanation:
The way that interference is avoided in these cases is that the signals have different frequency. Cell phone signals travel in a very specific wavelength, how often this wave repeats in a given span is called the frequency. By having these signals in different frequencies it prevents the signals from mixing with each other and instead allowing them to reach their destination intact. Otherwise, the signals would combine into a mess of uncomprehensible data, which is what we call interference.

On a warm day near the ocean, a breeze or wind often blows from the water to the land. Explain why this happens
Answer:
It occurs because of the difference in temperature between the ocean and the land.
This happens because the land heats up faster than the water, causing the air to rise above the land and allowing cooler air from the ocean to move in and take its place.
What is sea breeze?Because land and water have different capacities for holding heat, the land will heat up more quickly than the water on a hot day near the ocean. As a direct consequence of this, the air that floats above land tends to become warmer and less dense than the air that floats above water. Because of this, a region of low pressure is created over the land, while a region of high pressure is created over the water. In order to maintain a natural equilibrium, air will always move from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure.
A breeze or wind that blows from the water to the land is caused by the air that is cooler and denser over the water moving towards the air that is warmer and less dense over the land. This phenomenon, which is referred to as a sea breeze, can assist in moderating temperatures on land, thereby making it feel more bearable and pleasant to be there.

Hace aproximadamente 250 millones de años ocurrió la extinción masiva del Pérmico-Triásico, un evento en el cual murieron hasta el 96 por ciento de las especies marinas y un porcentaje similar de las terrestres. Cerca de tres millones de años después se produjo la separación, a partir de un ancestro en común, de los linajes que con el tiempo darían origen a las aves y los cocodrilos. El grupo que incluye tanto a cocodrilos como aves se lo denomina Archosauria, que significa ‘reptiles dominantes’.

The early ancestors of horses showed the presence of digits on their limbs, while modern horses have hooves. What are likely possible reasons for this change?
Answer:
Natural Selection & Fitness
Explanation:
Horses have evolved to run as fast as possible because they are prey animals.
The hooves give advantages to the predecessors to the modern horse rather than the foot-bearing horses.
Thus when somebody inevitably becomes a snack, the hoof bearing horses lived longer. (Natural selection)
Because they've lived longer, they've had more babies. (Fitness)
Their babies are more likely to pass on the genes they've inherited from their successful parents, and the population of hooved-horses begins to exceed the population of footed-horses.
In this circumstance, all the footed-horses are gone. The population has evolved.
