Evidence has been found that shows that primate ancestors developed the ability to see color. Previously, like most mammals, the

y could only see shapes using light and shadow. This evolutionary development was retained over millions of years as early primates evolved into modern primates, including humans. What is the best reason why this characteristic was incorporated into future hominid lineages rather than lost?

<span>Evolution is the process by which character trait mutations give a benefit to the gene holder over other members of the same species. Moving from seeing merely shadows and light to seeing colors yields the obvious benefit of more easily detecting predators and prey, thereby at once making the gene holder more alert to potential dangers and more readily able to find food. These obvious benefits made primates more likely to thrive.</span>

Describe the function of each organelle.
Elis [28]

Answer:

Cytoplasm: Fluid between the cell membrane and the nucleus. helps protect organelles

Nucleus: A part of the cell containing hereditary information and is responsible for growth and reproduction; the "command center" of the cell.

Ribosome: A small particle in the cell that can make proteins.

Endoplasmic Reticulum: A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another.

Golgi Apparatus: A cell structure that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell or for storage inside the cell.

Lysosome: Cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell, such as large food particles or old parts of the cell. May be found only in animal cells.

Vacuole: Saclike storage structure in the cell. can store water, nutrients, and even toxic substances.

Mitochondrion: An organelle containing enzymes responsible for producing energy. (Metabolism/respiration)

Chloroplast: An organelle found in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy (photosynthesis).

Cell membrane: The thin, flexible barrier around a cell; controls what enters and leaves the cell.

Cell wall: The structure outside of the cell membrane that is used to provide support and protection. Present in plants, algae, fungi, and many prokaryotes.

joja [24]

Answer:

There are many types of evidence which support the theory of evolution such as comparative anatomy, fossil records, phylogenetic relationship, embryology et cetera

Comparative anatomy includes homologous organs and analogous organs. They support divergent and convergent evolution respectively.  

For example, the homologous structure of limb of humans, birds, bat, horse, whale et cetera show that they are made up of the same set of bones which are humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.  

It shows divergent evolution and supports that these organisms have evolved from a common ancestor.

Embryological evidence: When early stages of embryological development of different organisms are compared, it is found that these stages are similar at different levels of development.

For example:

  • The appearance of pharyngeal-arch (gill-like structures) in vertebrates during embryo development.
  • Salamanders and terrestrial frogs pass through larval stages within an egg. They possess the features similar to aquatic larvae, however, when they hatched out the eggs being ready for life on land.

What is the difference between Genes and Alleles?
Vanyuwa [196]
Genes is found in the DNA. It decides a specific characteristic. Genes can transform and take two or more option structures and these structures are called Alleles. Presently allele happens in an altered spot in a chromosome and in people we have two arrangements of chromosomes.

There are 46 chromosomes in the human. 23 from the dad, 23 from the mother = 46 chromosomes.
