Answer:

Homology refers to the similarities between the group of species that share the common ancestor.  The homology individuals arise from a common ancestor. They shows divergent evolution. The basic structure in homology is similar. The organs perform different function. They occur due to the evolutionary process.

Homoplasy refers to the shared characters of the group of species that do not share the common ancestor. The homoplasy do not involve the common ancestor. They shows convergent evolution. The basic structure in homoplasy is different. The organs perform the similar function. They occur due to the adaptation in different habitats.

Bad White [126]

  • If the bats were susceptible to neurotoxin then they must not have been the frequent feeders of cycad seeds. Biomagnification of neurotoxin in flying fox is a widely researched topic.
  • Beetles do not have an association with these bats thus the bats must not be assisting them as important pollinating agents.

Reika [66]
The correct answer is nephron.
<span>
The nephron consists of Bowman’s capsule ( where blood is initially filtered ) and glomerulus which is a tuft of capillaries. Bowman’s capsule and a glomerulus together form the renal corpuscle. The renal tubule extends from the capsule and it consists of proximal convoluted tubule (selective reabsorption), a loop of Henle (establishes a salt gradient) and distal convoluted tubule (selective reabsorption). </span>
