e support for evolution. Give one example of each.​
Biology

jekas [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:Evidence for evolution comes from many different areas of biology:

Anatomy. Species may share similar physical features because the feature was present in a common ancestor (homologous structures).

Molecular biology. DNA and the genetic code reflect the shared ancestry of life. DNA comparisons can show how related species are.

Biogeography. The global distribution of organisms and the unique features of island species reflect evolution and geological change.

Fossils. Fossils document the existence of now-extinct past species that are related to present-day species.

Direct observation. We can directly observe small-scale evolution in organisms with short lifecycles (e.g., pesticide-resistant insects)

What are the function of roots? ​
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Root, in botany, that part of a vascular plant normally underground. Its primary functions are anchorage of the plant, absorption of water and dissolved minerals and conduction of these to the stem, and storage of reserve foods. The root differs from the stem mainly by lacking leaf scars and buds, having a root cap, and having branches that originate from internal tissue rather than from buds.

Like a key in a lock, the shape of the _____ must bind with the _____ of the receiving neuron.
likoan [24]

Neurotransmitters are the chemical molecules, which help in transfer of the signals from one neuron to another. Inside the neurons, the signals are transferred as electrical signals, but at junction of two neuron, which is known as synapse, the signals are transferred in chemical forms.

These neurotransmitters have a definite shape and are recognized by the receptors present in the receptor site of the succeeding neuron. The neurotransmitters from the synapse binds to the receptor site of the receiving neuron. binding of the neurotransmitter to the receptor causes excitation of the receiving neuron, which also known as postsynaptic neuron.

Hence, Like a key in a lock, the shape of the neurotransmitter must bind with the receptors of the receiving neuron.

What gives sperms motility​
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The tail of the sperm, the flagellum

Explanation:

We find cilia in the human body. They coat the epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract and play a role in keeping dust particles, smog, and potentially harmful microorganisms from entering the lungs.

Their movements enable the movement of mucus or other substances across the surface of various epithelial cells. The cilia also cover parts of the male and female reproductive tract.  

Flagella are found in sperm, whose tail represents the flagellum in its structure. The body wall of the sponge, among others, contains cells with whips that create and maintain the flow of water through the body.
