Hello, everyone. I hope you all are doing well. And today I would be helping you with the third problem of the Chapter 41 problem sent. And this question is asking which answer is mismatched. So I would approach this by doing process of elimination, looking at my answers and trying to deduce which ones I think might be mismatched. So for this one, you have to know the definitions off all of these answers. And then you'd have to deduce which ones are not so over Paris. So it says that it deposits eggs in the external environment, which is true. So we know that when it's wrong, because it's not mismatched. And then it says ovo v v. Paris, it's retains aches prior to releasing Young, which is true. So we know that one's wrong. And that says a V V V v. Paris, which it lacks eggs and always has sent up. So ah, that is true. So we know that when it's wrong, so really, at this point, and although I did write an E that it's not actually an answer, there's only four answers, so we know that it must be D at this point. But it says placenta so allow some mammals to be nourished inside the mother. So while nourishment is is a part of having the percentage that is not being direct point of it. So the point of it is to have exchanged between the offspring that is being protected by the placenta and the mother. So, for example, blood will flow. Ah, associate blood from the mother will dissociate oxygen into the baby or the offspring in the placenta because, um, it needs it. And also, the placenta is mainly used. Thio protect the baby until it can fend for itself outside of everything. So that is why, um, this is wrong because this answers specifically saying, allows some mammals to be nourished inside the mother. So ah, technically, nourishment would occur outside like drinking the milk, for example, a cow drinking milk from the mother's others and not directly inside the placenta. So I hope you found this very helpful. And I hope you have a fed us today. Thank you.
