Which of the examples below illustrates a homologous body structure?

Biology

AlladinOne [14]1 year ago
3 0

The forearm of birds, reptiles, and humans illustrates a homologous body structure.

  • Similar physical characteristics found in species with a shared origin are known as homologous structures, although these characteristics have entirely different biological purposes.
  • The limbs of humans, cats, whales, and bats are examples of homologous structures.
  • All of these structures—arm, leg, flipper, and wing—are supported by the same type of bone structure.
  • The arms of a person and the wings of a bat are excellent examples of homologous structures. Because both bats and people are mammals, they have a common ancestor.
  • Even though they appear considerably different from one another from the outside, a bat's wing and a human arm have remarkably comparable internal bone structures.
  • Wings help bats fly, whereas arms enable human interaction with their environment. The wing and the arm also have various purposes.

the data collected over the years clearly confirm depletion of ozone in the stratosphere. what do scientists still need to learn
Lisa [10]

<span>Ozone is simply a molecule consisting of 3 oxygen atoms, which reacts strongly with other molecules. Ozone is created in the stratosphere when high energy uv radiation causes on O2 molecule to split. The free oxygen atoms collide and react with other O2 molecules to form O3.</span>

Production is highest where the solar uv is the greatest eg near the tropics, but once created, the ozone is then circulated towards the poles by the atmosphere. The amount of ozone in the stratosphere can vary with location, season and even day to day climatic conditions.

<span>The process of ozone creation is what makes the O3 in the atmosphere very effective at shielding the Earth from harmful uv radiation, which can cause many biological problems, such as skin cancer. However, due to its high reactivity, the uv found in the tropospher at ground level can aslo be dangerous as a toxic pollutant which is harmful to plants and lung tissue, and is a major cause of smog.</span>

Degger [83]

Answer: Transcription factors

Explanation:  

The dioxin enters the blood stream and the fat cells and liver cells store it.

While moving inside the cell the dioxin binds to the protein called Aryl hydrocarbon which then binds to the second receptor.  

The complex is then carried to the nucleus of the cell. This tends to on and off certain genes.

This turning on and off of the genes in the cell can lead to serious diseases like cancer, decreased immune function, et cetera.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone would be able to explain to me why.

Ice cubes float because as it cools further and freezes into ice, it actually becomes less dense. On the other hand, most substances are most dense in their solid aka frozen state than in their liquid state. Water is different because of hydrogen bonding. ... ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water.
