• Homologous structures: Both Ostriches have wings similar in form to those of their ancestors, but that do not allow the birds to fly.
Homologous structures are those that have structural similarities but are different in function. For example, if we look at the anatomical structure of a bird’s wing, it is very similar in structure with a human arm. However, over the course of time they have evolved to perform different functions.
• Vestigial structures: The inner ear bones of mammals have evolved from bones that form the jaws of reptiles.
Vestigiality refers to the process in which some structure lose their function over the course of evolution in some specie but they are functionally normal in other species. Such a structure is the inner ear bones of mammals which donot perform an important function in mammals but do perform in reptiles.
• DNA sequence data: Both Genes involved in RNA replication are conserved among bacteria and animals, suggesting a common evolutionary origin.
The sequencing of genetic data is an excellent method of finding the evolutionary histories and relatedness of different organisms. This field of sciences is called phylogenetics and the mentioned example is the result of phylogenetics.
• Analogous structures: The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates arose independently, indicating a different evolutionary origin.
Analogous structures are those that have similar function but they look very different in structure or anatomy. This is because they have been evolved from different ancestors and perform different functions. One example of these structures is mentioned, The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates that look different bur perform same function.
The virus life cycle could be divided into six steps: attachment, penetration, uncoating, gene expression and replication, assembly, and release.
Answer:
(i)
x= nucleus
y= chloroplasts
z= vacuole
(ii)
1) an animal cell does not contain a vacuole but a plant cell does
2) a plant cell contains chloroplasts but an animal cell does not
Answer
I added 4 and 5 as an attachment due to time constraint.
Explanation:
1. at a steady state ca2+ taken by vesicle = 40n/mol
enclosed volume of CSR = 5μ/mg
concentration of ca2+ in vesicle =
40*10⁻⁶/5x10⁻⁶
= 0.008
= 8x10⁻⁹mol/L
2. radius of circle =75nM
volume = 150nm
volume of vesicle = 4/3 x pi x r³
= 1.33 x 3.14 x (75x10⁻⁹)³
= 1.77 x 10⁻²¹
when we convert this we get
1.77x10⁻¹⁸L since 1m³ is equal to 100oL
surface area =4x3.14x(75x10⁻⁹)²
= 12.56x5.625⁻¹⁵
= 7.065x10⁻¹⁴m²
this is 7.065x10⁻¹⁰cm²
3. number of vesicle/CSR
= 5x10⁻⁶/1.77x10⁻¹⁸
= 2.824x10¹²
surface are = 2.824x10¹² x7.06x10⁻¹⁰
= 19.95x10²
