1 answer:
Juliette [100K]3 years ago
7 0
A homologous structure is a structure or organ that can be found on many different animals that suggest that there is a common ancestor. It can be anywhere from a bone to a flap of skin to an organ. A common one to look at is the similarity between a human hand, bat’s wing, whale anterior flipper, and a cat’s paw. All of these have a common, 5-point structure to the bones which suggests that we all come from an animal that had 5 fingers.

Eva8 [605]
All the things that we can sense have their origins in the PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
The peripheral nervous system is made up of all the nerves that are located outside the spinal cord. These nerves transport information to and from the central nervous system. The sensory cells are involved in carrying information from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system. The sensory cells include the cells that are responsible for sight, sound, smell, taste and pressure.<span />

explain how the understanding of atomic emission spectrum led to the development of the atomic theory
Ivahew [28]

Using hydrogen in his experiments Bohr showed that an electron spins around the atom nuclei at a specific/discrete radii (orbital levels). Electrons at every orbital level spin at a discrete angular momentum and energy. When the electron moves one orbital level down, it releases a photon of energy specific to the jump (that is, of a particular spectrum that is unique to the atom). When the electron goes up an orbital level, energy (of a specific spectrum) is absorbed. This emission and absorption spectrum varies across atoms and is calculated as (delta)E = hf where;

E = energy

h = Planck's constant

f = frequency

While Mitosis produces 2 identical cells for growth, repair and replacement, what is the purpose of Meiosis? (Choose 3) a keepin
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Answer is D.Produce non-identical genetically different gametes and reduction of chromosomes,creating a haploid gamete.

Explanation:

Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction.In humans diploid gamete-mother cells or germ line undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes.

The chromosomes pairs of each parent undergo crossing over during meiosis.so daughter cells i.e gametes have genetic variations.When gametes  fuse and form zygote ,its genetic make up is different from both parents.thus meiosis allows a species to bring variations in next generations.Benenficial variations help organisms to adapt to the changes in environment.
