Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

All these images are of homologous structure in different species. They are called homologous as their skeletal elements have similarity which indicates their connection to a common ancestor. They are structurally similar but look different and also have different function.

These homologous structures depicts the changes that have occurred in the course of evolution of these organism in different geographic entities and under different circumstances (even after coming from the same ancestors) due to which similar body organs have adapted themselves to a different function or they might have become function-less.

For example - Tails in monkey, rats and mammals are structurally same organs but have different functions in different species. However, in case of humans tails have become function-less.

Hence, option D is correct

It is the last choice because their similar bone structures suggest they once had a common ancestor, which is why they are all mammals.

There are some phylum including

vredina [299]

Explanation:

Worms are invertebrate animals with bilateral symmetry. Worms have a definite anterior (head) end and a posterior (tail) end. The ventral surface of worms and other organisms is the bottom side of the body, often closest to the ground. The dorsal surface is located on the upper part of the body facing the sky. The lateral surfaces are found on the left and right sides of the body. Figure 3.35 compares bilateral symmetry in a whale shark and a swimming plychaete worm. Organs for sensing light, touch, and smell are concentrated in the heads of worms. They can detect the kinds of environment they encounter by moving in the anterior direction

Compare the physical and chemical properties of a compound to those of the elements of which it is composed.

yuradex [85]

Explanation:

Compounds are those substances that are made up of elements that are combined in a fixed proportion or ratio. The individual property of element is lost once it forms a compound. The physical and chemical properties of both compound and an element is different.

Example of a compound is water and its elements are hydrogen and oxygen. Water is a colorless liquid that acts as a solvent and dissolves most of the solutes in it. While oxygen and hydrogen occurs as gases in their elemental state.

Cell cycle checkpoints are an important feature of a dividing cell to reduce errors that can occur in various stages of the cell

Loss of Rb, an important part of the G1-S transition checkpoint, can result in uncontrolled cell cycle progression and cancer. All of the following would mimic loss of Rb except constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein. Correct answer: letter E.

Constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein would not mimic loss of Rb, because it would not directly result in uncontrolled cell cycle progression.

<h3>What is Retinoblastoma (RB)?</h3>

Rb is an important tumor suppressor protein that works to inhibit cell cycle progression by preventing the activation of E2F transcription factors. Constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein would not directly interfere with the Rb-E2F pathway, which is necessary for uncontrolled cell cycle progression and cancer.
