Answer:
D
Explanation:
The presence of homeotic genes shows that all of the listed organisms (mice, flies, humans etc) all evolved from a common ancestor.
(A) is wrong as the evidence of the same gene existing in vastly different species shows the evolutionary relationship between these organisms.
(B) is wrong as there is insufficient evidence to prove that flies are the precessor of humans. We do know that flies and humans have evolved from a common ancestor though.
(C) is non-conclusive as the passage said nothing about the gene allowing the species to have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing. Hence, an errornous claim.
(D) is the correct answer as from a common ancestor, all of the listed organisms undergo and accumulates mutation, undergoes selective pressures that resulted in divergent evolution (aka branching evolution that results in many noval species forming) after millions of years.
Pyroxene and plagioclases feldspar
D. It allows a variety of substances to dissolve in and around cells.
Explanation:
The shell of hydration is important to life because it allows a broad range of substances to dissolve in and around the cells.
- The shell of hydration allow for water to dissolve a wide range of substances and disperse them uniformly in it.
- Water serves a solvent capable of dissolving a wide range of substances because it forms a hydration shell round them.
- This allow for materials to be in solution around the cell.
- Diffusion and osmosis can readily now take place.
