Define the term fossil, and name three different kinds of fossils.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

Which best describes meiosis? a. it produces cells that are identical to the original cell b. it is responsible for the replacement of damaged skin cells c. it is responsible for growth of the organism d. it produces male and female sex cells

Astudent completed a lab report. which correctly describes the difference between the "question" and "hypothesis' sections of her report? "question states what she is asking, and "hypothesis" states the result of her experiment "question" states what she is asking, and "hypothesis" states what she thinks the answer to that question is in 'if. then because" format. "question" describes what she is trying to find out, and "hypothesis" states the procedures and methods of data collection. "question" describes what she is trying to find out, and "hypothesis" states any additional information or prior knowledge about the question
