Boselaphus tragocamelus is to Panthera tigris, as Panthera leo is to Taurotragus oryx. True or False
Your colleague is studying a newly discovered organism. She is becoming increasingly convinced that the organism is an arthropod. You find that you must respectfully disagree when you note that the organism has a set of distinctly non-arthropod characteristics. The features that cause you to exclude the organism from the arthropod grouping are
antennae, six legs, and mandibles.
pseudocoel, closed circulatory system, and ventral heart.
Malpighian tubules, ommatidia, and tagmata.
jointed legs, ecdysis, and an exoskeleton.
compound eyes, book lungs, and a hemocoel.

For example, how many hours in a day are spend sleeping, eating, driving, etc. bar graph line graph histograph pie chart Question 9 (1 point) Often, a large collection of data points are generated and graphed as a scatter plot and then a line can be added. What purpose does the line serve? To show the overall trend in the data to understand potential relationships between the variables. To connect all the dots so the sequence of data collection can be represented. It will enable us to remove all the random dots and just keep the line so the graph isn't so messy.arrow_forwardIn minimum of 25 sentences, explain the concept of mimicry in relation to taxonomy and why it is important in the study of insect taxonomy.
