Answer:The discovery of the "distal-less," or Dll, gene in many different phyla.

Explanation: Appendages of animals are any external attachment or extension of one or two body parts of an organism in order for it to be able to effectively perform its responsibilities.

The morphological and functional changes or evolution of appendages is responsible for the adaptive radiation of tetrapods, arthropods and winged insects. Recent studies tends to show that all animal appendages may be homologous through the discovery of the "distal-less," or Dll, gene in many different phyla.

In humans, what muscle is homologous to the serratus ventralis found in cats

Nat2105 [25]

The Serratus anterior in man is homologous to the Serratus ventralis muscle in the cat. The Serratus anterior is a muscle that originates on the surface of the 1st to 8th ribs at the side of the chest and insects along the entire anterior length of the medial border of the scapula. The Serratus anterior acts to pull the scapula forward around the thorax. Serratus ventralis in the cats looks like fingers because it attaches to the ribs, but has nothing to attach to between the ribs.

Why is gmo modification different for plants and animals

morpeh [17]

In animals, a gene is inserted into an embryo, modifying the genome to manufacture the product of this new gene. In plants, a gene is injected into a single cell that is grown from a seed into a plant. This plant expresses the new gene in all its cells. The difference between GM and selective breeding.
