The presence of the 60 percent of similar genes in the fruit flies and humans, and 97.5 % similar genes in humans and mice suggests that the common ancestory of the humans and mice is much more recent than the common ancestory of humans and fruit flies. The majority of the similar genes in the mice and humans is the indication that they have evolved from a common ancestor not very long ago. However, only 60% similarity between fruit flies and humans indicates that it had been some time since they both have had a common ancestor.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option D'.

Studies reveal that ventilation drifts upward during constant-load submaximal exercise performed in a hot and humid environment.
Rina8888 [55]
<span>The answer would be; a significant increase in blood temperature.

The muscle contraction from exercise will produce heat that will increase the body temperature. In a hot and humid condition, this will make the body temperature hard to be lowered. The increase of blood temperature will influence the respiratory control center, makes the respiration drift upward.</span>

Which of these pollutants is biodegradable?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Food waste

Explanation:

Food waste is an organic compound, unlike the other choices. Organic compounds are biodegradable because living organisms, such as decomposers, have evolved mechanisms of breaking down these large carbon-based compounds/polymers into smaller molecules for energy. Food waste is therefore easily recycled into the environment.

The others do not have naturally occurring organisms to break them down or reduce them. They would, therefore, accumulate in the environment. This is exactly what is happening to plastc pollution. Accumulation of plastic in the environment is due to fact that they are not broken down into simpler molecules by any naturally occurring bacteria or organisms in the environment.
