Why wings (and hence flight)evolved from this point is a matter of contention among scientists; various hypotheses proposed include: Wings evolvedfrom arms used to capture small prey. ... Wings evolved from gliding ancestors who began to flap their gliding structures in order to produce thrust.

Two hypotheses have been proposed for the origin of insect wings. One holds that wings evolved by modification of limb branches that were already present in multibranched ancestral appendages and probably functioned as gills. The second proposes that wings arose as novel outgrowths of the body wall, not directly related to any pre-existing limbs. If wings derive from dorsal structures of multibranched appendages, we expect that some of their distinctive features will have been built on genetic functions that were already present in the structural progenitors of insect wings, and in homologous structures of other arthropod limbs. We have isolated crustacean homologues of two genes that have wing-specific functions in insects, pdm (nubbin) and apterous. Their expression patterns support the hypothesis that insect wings evolved from gill-like appendages that were already present in the aquatic ancestors of both crustaceans and insects

Explain the structural and functional effects that this frameshift mutation has on lung cells
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

<h2>Cystic Fibrosis</h2>

Explanation:

Frame shift mutation is the mutations caused by the deletion or insertion of nucleotide through which reading sequence of DNA is changed. By the change of reading sequence, the protein translated by this new sequence is changed, because these new codons code different amino acids.

Frame shift mutation cause Cystic Fibrosis (CF)  in lung cells. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease, causes problems in the body's cells that make salt, water, and mucus.

Put the following terms in the order they would occur in the angiosperm life cycle. The first one is done.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: Angiosperms are the plants which produce flowers for sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

In the angiosperm life cycle the following events occur:

1. Seed germination: Under suitable condition inside the soil obtain water, oxygen and minerals the seed germinates and from the two precursors plumule from where the stem emerge and radicle  from where the root emerges.

2. Mature plant with flower: The plant gets matured with the develop of root and shoot and from the shoot the bud originates which produces the flower.

3. Pollination: During the process of pollination a mature pollen grain is transferred towards the female reproductive structure typically the stigma receives the pollen grain.

3. Fertilization of pollen with egg in ovary: The pollen is the male gametophyte which develops in the anthers which are the male reproductive structure of the flower and the egg or ovule is the female gamete which develops inside the ovary or female gametophyte. The fusion of male gametes provided by the pollen grain with that of the ovule is called as fertilization.

4. Formation of fruit with seed: After the fertilization process the ovules develop into seed and the ovary into fruit.

5. Seed dispersal: The fruit gets detached from the plant and it may get rotten and dried the dried seeds disperse and may germinate in favorable conditions.
