Answer:

The correct answer will be option C.

Explanation:

By studying the fossils it has been suggested that human teeth like other bones also evolved with time. These teeth evolved in humans as the food diet of the ancestors changed from eating plants to hunting and eating the meat of other animals.

Human teeth size has generally decreased in size during evolution which is easily observed in the molar teeth or wisdom teeth.  In modern human or <em>Homo sapiens,</em> the wisdom teeth are usually smaller as compared to ancient hominins like<em> Paranthropus boisei </em>or “Nutcracker” that lived 2.3 million years ago with the largest molars. This change developed due to use of the advanced tool by the genus Homo as with the use of tools humans did not have to spend much energy on developing teeth.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Why are government laws and agencies needed to monitor our impact on the<br> environment?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The government laws and agencies are necessary for monitoring the impact on our environment to ensure that proper care of the environment is taken and sustainable use of resources is done.

Explanation:

  • The condition of our environment is deteriorating day by day mainly due to unrestricted use resources and excessive pollution caused by humans.
  • In order to conserve the earth for the future generations it is essential that serious care must be taken to protect the environment.

Suppose there are two homologous chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a single mutant allele in different parts of the chromoso
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.

Explanation:

Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.

For example -

Suppose "X" is a mutant  allele and "x" is a mutant free allele.

Now when two homologous chromosomes contains a single mutant allele in different parts of the chromosome are crossed the following offspring are produced

X x

X XX Xx

x Xx xx

"xx" is a mutant free genotype.

Thus, crossing over can create a single mutation-free chromosome

How could genetic drift explain differences in the genotype frequencies among the caucasian and aborigine populations?
Novay_Z [31]

Genetic drift occurs when there is no random mating across a population. This causes a change in allelic frequency due to a random sampling of the population.

As the aboriginal population explored the earth,  a small part of the population became geographically isolated either due to continental drift and climate changes. As the isolated population grew bigger, they established their own gene pool. This resulted a change in genotypic frequencies from that of the aboriginal population.
