Evolution :).

Descent with modification helps to explain anatomical similarities among certain species. The bones of the forelimbs of humans, cats, and bats (you can add in penguins, alligators, and more) are used in different ways but have similar structures.

The best explanation is that these animals have a common ancestor. With new generations, new species emerged by natural selection from different populations, and with this, the bones become better for different tasks.

The forelimbs and other such structures with anatomical similarities due to a common ancestor are called homologous structures.

What two characteristics do fungi lack that forced them to become decomposers?? Please help :) **25 points**
Tamiku [17]
Fungi lacks the ability to produce their own food because they do not have chloroplast which is needed to obtain energy from the sun and convert it into food. Also fungi lack ability to fix nitrogen which has to be incorporated into their food. They also can not fix carbon and utilize it to produce food. Because of these they have to depend on dead organic matters for food.

It is easier to read while shaking your head than while shaking the page. why
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The reason why it is much easier to read while shaking your head rather than reading and shaking the page is because of the vestibular ocular reflex, it is because when reading and shaking your head the vestibular ocular reflex were able to respond faster than prolong and slow movements.
