The elbow joint of the cow and the elbow joint of the human are a pair of homologous organs. Homologous organs can be defined as the traits that are inherited by two different organisms from a common ancestor. The structure of these organs are similar in both organisms but their function is different.

The connecting bones of the elbow joint in the humans and the cows are the same, but the radius and ulna of the cow are fused together. In cows, the elbow joint helps them to walk while in humans, the elbow joint helps to lift and carry.

Our elbow bends all the time, we bend it when we pick up things, when we eat, when we do mostly everything. Cows on the other hand dont pick up food with there feet, they use there mouths, and they probably only bend when they are walking.

Olin [163]

Answer:

nucleosomes = 1.65 x 10^6

H2a = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H2b = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H3 = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H4 = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

Explanation:

It was mentioned in the book Principles of Genetics  By D. Peter Snustad, Michael J. Simmons that in the nucleus of <em>D. melanogaster </em>there will be 1.65 x 10^6 nucleosomes and 3.3 x 10^6 molecules of every type of histone i.e. H2a, H2b, H3, and H4 present in it.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

<h3>\huge \boxed{ \mathbb{ \bold{  \purple{ \: cell}}}}</h3>

Explanation:

All the living organisms on this Earth are made up of microscopic units called cells. It is basic structural unit for all the organisms. The cells are the building block of all the living organisms. Our body is composed of trillion of cells. They carry out the functional activities of our life. A cell can be defined as a basic , structural and functional unit of life capable of independent existence. The cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665 AD. As we know that all the living organisms are made up of cells. These cells are developed as a result of a division of pre-existing cells. All the cells are same in chemical composition and metabolic processes. The function of an organism as a whole is the outcome of combined activities and interactions of the constituent cells. The cell is known as the fundamental , structural and functional unit of life.

Hope I helped!

Best regards!
