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.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

a) into the ER

b) into the ER

c) into mitochondria

Explanation:

a) This signal is located at the N-terminus of the protein and acts before the internal signal is synthesized for import into the nucleus. When the protein enters the ER, the sequence of the import signal in the nucleus cannot work because the protein would be prevented from interacting with the cytosolic receptors.

b) The signal that is imported into the peroxisome cannot function once the protein was sequestered in the ER.

c) In order for the protein to be retained in the ER, the protein must first be imported into the ER. Without there being no signal for that import of the protein into the ER, that retention signal could not work.

Study the diagram below. In which order does oxygen flow through the human circulatory system?
anyanavicka [17]
The order of flow of oxygen within the human body may be described simply. Oxygen first is inhaled through the nasal cavity and then passes through the trachea, through the bronchi and into the lungs. In the lungs, the oxygen is passed into the blood stream through the alveoli and then is carried to the heart. The heart pumps this oxygenated blood throughout the body, primarily to organs and muscle cells, where it is consumed in respiration and is converted to carbon dioxide and excreted.

Why does protein concentration increase from the arterial blood to the postglomerular blood
siniylev [52]
<span>Proteins have a very high molecular weight and cannot be present as macro molecules in the glomerular blood. Before even reaching the blood, they are well masticated and processed to simple amino acids and other nitrogenous compounds like urea, uric acid etc. (in the digestive system itself). They are eliminated from the body while glomerular filtration through urine. The glomerular blood thus becomes free from such compounds before leaving the kidney.</span>

What is mitosis and why is it important for identical cells to be produced
Ksivusya [100]

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth. Mitosis is important because the organism must:

1. replace cells that have worn out or died

2. repair tissue that is damaged

3. add cells in order to grow

4. make new kinds of cells in order to develop
