Ans.
A monohybrid cross can be defined as 'a cross between two individuals having different copies of a chromosome or gene of interest, which is responsible for variations in a single trait.'
These variations in a single trait are controlled by two or more alleles for a single chromosomes. For example, a cross between tall pea plant and dwarf pea plant to study the inheritance of plant height.
Thus, the correct answer is 'option). they differ in a single trait.'
The concentration of CO2 would drastically increase.
C. The structure of a cell organelle is directly related to its function.
Species selection. Species selection is the process by which intrinsic biological characteristics in organisms change depending on the type of environment they're interacting with. In this case, the subsequent generations of the fly lost the ability to fly because their environment didn't require them to use wings for survival, hence they stopped growing them and subsequently lost the ability to fly.
Answer:
Although elephants and hyraxes at first don't seem to have many similarities, a closer look has led many scientists to believe that these animals are evolutionarily closely related.
Elephants and Hyraxes share many reproductive characteristics that indicate a common ancestor: The location of the testicules in these animals diverges from most mammalian species, remaining inside the retroperitoneal abdomen. Females have similar placental origins and long gestation periods and the location of the mammary glands in both orders (above the front legs) is a unique feature among non-primate mammals. Hyraxes' tusks develop from incisor teeth, similar to elephants, and in both cases nails develop into flattened, hoof-like structures.
Molecular evidence has also been used to confirm the hypothesis of evolutionary relatedness between the two orders, as similarities in some gene sequences in mitochondrial DNA and other molecular components. Both animals have some physiological similarities and cognitive characteristics (such as the presence of a powerful long-term memory) that support the possibility of evolutionary proximity.
The fossil record indicates that in the Eocene period hyraxes were dominant herbivores in Africa, with several species, reaching much larger sizes than today and occupying different ecological niches, indicating that elephants and hyraxes may have been very similar millions of years ago.
