The sketch shows a rynchosaur, an extinct animal that is known only from fossils. there has been much debate about the classification of these creatures. some scientists suggest that they belong with primitive amphibians, and some think they are related to snakes and lizards. the data equally support both cases. which statement best explains how to draw a cladogram that includes the rynchosaur? draw the cladogram for amphibians. draw the cladogram for reptiles. draw two cladograms, both showing the traits, and leave it as a hypothesis. draw two cladograms, both showing the traits, and have scientists vote

Where does all the water go? according to the environmental protection agency (epa), in a typical wetland environment, 39% of the water is outflow; 46% is seepage; 7% evaporates; and 8% remains as water volume in the ecosystem (reference: united states environmental protection agency case studies report 832-r-93-005). chloride compounds as residuals from residential areas are a problem for wetlands. suppose that in a particular wetland environment the following concentrations (mg/l) of chloride compounds were found: outflow, 60.4; seepage, 73.7; remaining due to evaporation, 26.4; in the water volume, 46.8. (a) compute the weighted average of chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) for this ecological system. (round your answer to one decimal place.) mg/l (b) suppose the epa has established an average chlorine compound concentration target of no more than 58 mg/l. does this wetlands system meet the target standard for chlorine compound concentration? yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high. yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high.

Gregor mendel is best known for his work with pea plants and for uncover many of the mysteries of genetics. one of his major findings stated that there were specific, physical units of inheritance that are transmitted during reproduction. what is the the name given to these units of inheritance which can be found on chromosomes? a) centromeres b) cytoplasm c) genes d) nucleotides
