Answer:

The ancestor of these organisms lived on a landmass long ago that included Madagascar, India, and Australia.

Explanation:

The three, Madagascar, India and Australia were found together on a piece of land called Gondwana, which were part of the continent called Pangea, approximately 300 million years ago. Gondwana began its separation at the beginning of the Jurassic. Meanwhile, South America began to separate to the west. On the other hand, East Gondwana, which was made up of Antarctica, Madagascar, India and Australia, began its separation from Africa.

Okay, to start off, the basic difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells is prokaryotic cells are cells without a nucleus, and eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus.

So based off that information alone, you can answer #1. Cell A does not have a nucleus (big circle shape), while Cell B does. Therefore, Cell A is the prokaryotic cell.

As for #2, prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells DO have similarities despite their differences. For instance, they both have some of the same organelles, like the plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA.

Finally for #3, two differences are that #1, prokaryotic cells have nucleoids while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, and #2, prokaryotes have circular DNA while eukaryotes have linear DNA. 

Your best bet is finding a visual aid in a textbook or online to help you, so you can better identify organelles and eukaryotic/prokaryotic cells. Also, there are some cheesy videos out there on YouTube which I was forced to sit through in Bio class last year such as the Amoeba Sister's youtube channel which could help. Hope this helped!

<h2>Answer:</h2>

a. one allele from each parent

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

An allele in biological sciences is one of the possible forms of a gene that it can inherit. Most genes have two alleles, a dominant allele and a recessive allele. When Gregor Mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant, the F1 plants inherited an allele for tallness from the tall parent and an allele for shortness from the short parent.
