The fossils of a new species of reptile are found in deposits dating to the permian period. later, scients discover that fossils of the speces changed somewhat over time and can be found in deposits dating from the permitan period all the way up to the cretaceous period. the fossils vary from one continent to another, but many seemingly intermediate forms are found, and the fossils are spread over most continents. the scientists' observations most strongly support which evolutionary models?
a. ellopete speciation
b. punctuated ovolution
c. adaptive radiation

Ms. w, a 21-year-old woman, came into a clinic after suffering a deep laceration on her foot while walking barefoot around her yard. the wound was cleaned, sutured, and bandaged, and she was released to return home after receiving tetanus antitoxoid. within 72 hours, the wound area was red and swollen, the suture line was dark in color, and it was accompanied by severe throbbing pain. ms. w had a high fever, her heart felt like it was racing, and she was finding it hard to concentraten even on simple tasks. she returned to the clinic and was immediately taken to the hospital. following lab tests, a diagnosis of acute necrotizing fasciitis was made. discussion questions 1. explain why ms. w. received a tetanus antitoxoid before leaving the hospital. (see chapters 3 and 4, infection and passive immunity.) 2. explain how acute necrotizing fasciitis developed in this case and the pathophysiology involved. (see acute necrotizing fasciitis.) 3. what is the potential outcome for ms. w if antibiotic drugs do not reduce the infection quickly?
