  a. punctuated equilibrium
  b. polygenetic inheritance
  c. clinal expression
 d. genetic drift

Question 2

This primate was a diurnal quadruped with a mixture of money and ape features: its lower molars had five cusps like an ape its skull had forward-facing eye sockets protected by a bony wall an endocast of the cranium reveals that it had a visual cortex larger than that found in Prosimians, but the brain was smaller than that of more recent anthropoids and it had marked sexual dimorphism and was no bigger than a modern house cat. It is a:

Malaria mortality rates are falling. Increased malaria prevention and control measures have greatly improved these rates. Since 2000, malaria mortality rates have fallen globally by 60% among all age groups, and by 65% among children under age 5.

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Vital signs (blood pressure, temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate) should be taken before any drug administration. Patients should be informed not to use tobacco or caffeine at least 30 minutes before their appointment.
