Name one unique feature of the Arthropoda that is visible on honey bees. Also, can you guess what the bee's stinger is made out of (hint: same component as lobster exoskeletons).
The remains of another unknown primate have been found. The length of the humerus is 28 cm. The length of the radius is 24 cm. The length of the femur is 35 cm and the length of the tibia is 33 cm.

In contrast, hatchery- produced juveniles (B) of the same size have smooth shell whorls even at a smaller size. Describe the adaptive advantage that the spike whorls confer to these juvenile topshells.
