Each group of organisms shown in the cladogram uses a different mechanism to cope with the production of nitrogenous waste. The point marked X best represents which evolutionary development? Mamm Amphibians Bony fahes Cariaginous fshes The scarcity of fresh water resulted in the evolution of a uric acid metabolic pathway. The toxicity of ammonia led to a tolerance for greater concentrations of urea in the bloodstream. The move to terrestrial environments favored the use of ATP to produce a two- nitrogen compound from ammonia. The rapid metabolism associated with the development of limbs required the excretion of greater amounts of urea.

Molecular clock data place the evolution of diatoms around the time period following the Permian extinction. One hypothesis is that an adaptive radiation occurred as they colonized new marine niches. Based on what you know about the effects of ocean acidification on the formation of tests made from calcium carbonate and the composition of the tests (cell walls) of diatoms, what is a possible explanation for this diatom "explosion"?

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?
