When compared to each other, bird wings and butterfly wings can be described as ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES,

Analogous structures are those body structures in animals, which are used to perform similar functions but which have different evolutionary history. They are also called convergent structures. These structures are formed as a result of the need for the animals to adapt to similar environmental conditions. For instance, both bird and butterfly use their wings for flying.

How is RNA and DNA different

Shkiper50 [21]

-DNA is double stranded,RNA is one stranded

-DNA contains the following nitrogenous bases:Adeninde Guanine Timine Citozine while RNA contains Adeninde Guanine Citozine and Uracil

-DNA function is to contain the information for manufacturing proteins while there are many types of RNA with whole different jobs for example:messanger RNA(mRNA) it coppies a sequence from the DNA strand and takes it to the ribosome in order to be translated as the order for placing aminoacids in the polypeptide strand;transport RNA(tRNA) it is a short RNA strand containing up to 100 nucleotides it takes aminoacids to the ribosome so the polypeptides strand can start to be manufatured from aminoacids in an order inscripted in the mRNA.

What term is used to describe organisms composed of identical and unspecialized cells?

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Embryo cell or totipotent cell

Explanation:

All organisms during their embryonic stage also known as totipotent cells are composed of cells that are identical in structure and function. These cells can differentiate at a later stage and have the potential to become any cell i.e heart cell, eye cell etc. Embryo is thus just a mass of unspecialized cell which undergo differentiation to then convert into pluripotent and form tissues and hence the organ.
