Answer:

Homologies - phenotypic and genetic similarities due to shared ancestry

Analogies (homoplastic) - similarities between two species due to convergent evolution instead of descent from a common ancestor with the same trait

In general, organisms that share very similar morphologies or similar DNA sequences are likely to be more closely related than organisms with vastly different structures or sequences. In some cases, however, the morphological divergence between related species can be great and their genetic divergence small (or vice versa).

(plants very different, bc diverged 50 mil years ago)

If internal anatomy, physiology, and reproductive systems are very dissimilar, probably analogous.

The more elements that are similar in two complex structures, the more likely it is that the structures evolved from a common ancestor. If genes in two organisms share many portions of their nucleotide sequences, it is likely that the genes are homologous.:

Advocard [28]

The right answer is Bleu.

Chlorophyll b is a yellow form of chlorophyll that essentially absorbs blue light and is more soluble in aqueous chlorophyll a because of its carbonyl group.

Chlorophyll b is not an initial electron donor in the respiratory chain but increases the energy efficiency of photosynthesis by increasing the amount of light energy absorbed by plants and other photosynthetic organisms.

Which type of protein binds a ligand on the cell surface or within cells, often initiating a downstream signaling cascade or alt
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The type of protein that binds a ligand on the cell surface or within cells are transmembrane receptors. These proteins have 3 domains: an extracellular part that does the binding, a hydrophobic domain that extends through the membrane, and an intracellular region that transmits the signal. The most common membrane-anchored receptors are: G protein-coupled receptors, receptor tyrosine kinases, and ligand-gated ion channels.
