Answer:

Vertical distance between contours is called contour interval

Explanation:

Contour lines are lines that connects point of equal height. The vertical distance or the difference in elevation between two contour lines is known as contour interval. For example  a set of 100 contours is used to represent a hill of height 500 ft. So, the vertical distance between each  contour will \frac{500}{100} \\feet

= 5ft contour interval.

A line drawn on a topographic map to indicate ground elevation or depression. If the contour intervals are closer together, the steeper the elevation.

Species with homologous structures most likely:
nikitadnepr [17]

Species with more likely homologous structures share a common ancestor.

  • D. share a common ancestor.

<h3>What are example homologous structures?</h3>

The most correct definition for homology would be: They are structures of individuals, of different species or not, that were inherited from a common ancestor. The human arm is homologous to the horse's front leg. The bat's wing is homologous to the whale fin.

With this information, we can conclude that homologous  have same embryological origin of structures from different organisms, and these structures may or may not have the same function

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Dissimilar organisms might have evolved from a distant, common ancestor.

Explanation:

First of all we should know species. Species is considered as a basic unit of taxonomic classification of an organism.

Initially, the scientists are agreed on this phenomenon that all distinct species are evolved gradually from common ancestor. Today, the species which are different from each other just like hummingbirds, humans and whales are from the same ancestor but with the time passage genetic mutation occurs and at the end dissimilar organisms we can see in our environment/surroundings.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

basale - spinosum - granulosum - lucidum - corneum.  

Explanation:

The order of strata in the epidermis:

  • Basale: it is the deepest stratum. It has one layer of cells called keratinocytes, which are stem cells for the epidermis.
  • Spinosum: The keratinocytes in this layer have spiny shapes. They synthesize cytokeratin and lipids. In this layer, we can also find macrophages.
  • Granulosum: The keratinocytes of the previous layer ascend and synthesize keratohyalin, which is in granules. The keratohyalin helps to join keratin filaments. Also, the cells release the lipids synthesized in the previous layer, and they form a barrier that stops dehydration.
  • Lucidum: it is only on thick skin, like the one in the sole of the feet. The keratinocytes in this layer have expelled the nucleus and now are dead cells. The keratinocytes have a flat shape and form a thin layer.
  • Corneum: it is the most superficial layer. It is made of dead keratinocytes filled with keratin in their cytoplasm. It is a thick layer that suffers desquamation when new dead cells filled with keratin ascend from the previous layer.
