Note: When completing this exercise, it may be useful to refer back to Labs 10-12 for information about living primates. In 2002, researchers reported the discovery of a partial skeleton from the genus Carpolestes. It lived in North America around 56 mya. It was about the size of a mouse and had a pronounced snout. It also had grasping hands and feet and a mix of nails and claws. It did not have a postorbital bar (instead, the eye socket had very little bony support). This fossil has been classified as a plesiadapiform. (See p. 385 of your lab manual for images.) Describe at least one feature that Carpolestes shares with other plesiadapiforms such as Plesiadapis.

The phylogeny chart shows the evolution of camels. camelus is the modern-day camel. based on this chart, which three statements are true? ⭕ modern camels are more related to stenomylus than to eschatius. ⭕ stenomylous and modern camels do not share a common ancestor. ⭕ modern camels are more related to camelops than to aepycamelus. ⭕ pliauchenia and oxydactylus may share similar features. ⭕ procamelus and stenomylous may share similar features.

In eukaryotes, genetic information is passed to the next generation by processes that include mitosis or meiosis. which of the explanations identifies the correct process and supports the claim that heritable information is passed from one generation to another? a. mitosis, followed by cytokinesis, produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell, thus insuring variation within the population. b. during mitosis, dna replication occurs twice within the cell cycle to insure a full set of chromosomes within each of the daughter cells produced. c. in asexual reproduction, a single individual is the sole parent and passes copies of its genes to its offspring without the fusion of gametes. d. single-celled organisms can fuse their cells, reproducing asexually through mitosis to form new cells that are not identical to the parent cell.

Which two factors contributed to creating a global culture? the creation of the united nations improvement in telecommunications health issues such as the ebola virus increased opportunities for global travel
