7 0

Answer:

Vestigial organs are a type of homologous organs.

Explanation:

Vestigial organs are rudimentary in present organisms. Vestigial organs such as wisdom teeth,nictating membrane of eyes,body hairs,which were functional organs in ancestors. Though they are present in an organism in reduced form but are functionless.

Examples of vestigial organs:

1.  Human tail or appendix,

2. Pelvic bone of a snake

3. Wings of flightless birds

4.Male breast tissues and nipples

Which part of the cell theory do these results most support:
Vlad1618 [11]
<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2>

\huge\textbf{Cell Theory}

the Cell Theory was give by German scientists, Schleiden and T.Shwan in 1839. It stated that,

  • All organism are composed of one or more cells

  • The cell is the structural and functional unit of life
  • It is a de novo structure, that means it COULD arise from non living thing which was incorrect.

It was corrected by the German pathologist  Rudolf Virchow in 1855. He made a convincing case, corrected and added the third point of the cell theory. It is,

  • Cells can arise only by a division of pre-existing cell. It is <u>NOT</u> a de novo structure.

Cell theory brought a great evolution in the field of biology which established the function of organism is the result of activities and interaction of the cell units.

\huge\textbf{Question:}

  • <u>Flask 1</u>: It is observed that there are no micro-organism, this is because the meat is sealed and no micro-organism could enter through it.
  • <u>Flask 2</u>: It is observed that there are micro-organism present because meat is not sealed but open.
  • <u>Flask 3</u>: As the S tube is used, the micro-organism are not able to reach the meat because of the curvy path

These observations support the  point that<u> cells could arise only by a division of pre-existing alive cells</u> because in Flask 1 when there were no micro-organism present so there was no organisms found so no micro-organism arised, In flask 3 the S tube was used so no micro-organism could reach the meat thus there were no organism there which could divide to reproduce. The flask 2 was open, so the micro organisms reached the meat so they divided which means Cells can only arise by a division of pre-existing cells.

hich of the following describes the structure and function of the cell membrane? A. The hydrophilic head groups of the lipid mol
jeka57 [31]

The correct answer is: A. The hydrophilic head groups of the lipid molecules are exposed to the outside of the cell and the cytoplasm, which is a water-like environment. The hydrophobic tails form an oily layer inside the membrane that keeps water out of the cell.

Plasma membrane of the cell is arranged in a bilayer of phospholipids. Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules which means that they have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. The hydrophilic heads of phospholipids that are faced outward and hydrophobic layer located in the interior of the bilayer together make a good barrier between the interior and exterior of the cell, so the water and other polar or charged substances cannot easily cross the hydrophobic core of the membrane.

Mendel crossed yellow-seeded and green-seeded pea plants and then allowed the offspring to self-pollinate to produce an F2 gener
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

C. The green allele is recessive to the yellow allele

Explanation:

Complete dominance occurs when one gene variant or allele referred to as the 'dominant allele' completely masks the expression of another allele referred to as the 'recessive allele' in heterozygous individuals, i.e., in individuals carrying one copy of the dominant allele and one copy of the recessive allele for a particular locus/gene (whereas homo-zygous individuals carry the same alleles for a given locus/gene). Mendel crossed pure lines of pea plants, i.e., homo-zygous lines for different traits such as seed color (yellow and green) and seed shape (round and wrinkled). In this case, the parental cross was YY x yy, where the 'Y' allele is dominant and encodes for yellow seed color, and the 'y' allele is recessive and encodes for green seed color. From this cross, Mendel obtained a hybrid F1 (i.e., all progeny was heterozygous with genotype Yy). An expected 3:1 ratio as observed in this case (6,022 yellow and 2,001 green seed >> 3:1 ratio) is characteristic of the progeny that results from mating between F1 heterozygous parents, where each parent has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, i.e., F1 parental cross: Yy x Yy >> F2: 1/4 YY (yellow color); 1/2 Yy (yellow color); 1/4 (green color) >> 3:1 ratio of yellow to green seeds.
