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.:

Are volcanoes typically found near plate boundaries? HELP PLEASE
True [87]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

They are normally found near plate boundaries and how they form is: When two of those plates meet, one is pushed underneath the other and eventfully a volcanoes is created. Soon hot magma reaches the surface. This molten rock then rises and erupts on the surface building up a volcano. Hope this helps! :)

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - the number of times the student was able to squeeze the clothespin or rate of clothespin squeezing.

Explanation:

The dependent variable is the variable that depends on the change in the independent variable and measured or needs to be found in a scientific experiment or investigation.

In this experiment, the independent variable would be an exercise to found the effect on the change of the rate of clothespin squeezing or the number of times the students are able to squeeze the clothespin.

Thus, the correct answer would be - the rate of clothespin squeezing.
