Answer: Homologous Structure.

Explanation: Homologous structures can be defined as the structures that are     are similar in the structure but the function is different.

These organisms are related because they have show some common ancestor. Same structure performing different functions.

Example: The bones of whale and the and the bones of human have similar structure but their functions vary. The bones of whales function as fins and helps in swimming and the hands of human being is used for holding things.

Justify your answer by filling in the blanks. Both parents have white fur. way that this can happen is if their genotypes are bo
MissTica

Answer:

Both parents have white fur. <em>The only</em> way that this can happen is if their genotypes are both <em>homozygous (bb)</em>. Therefore, both parents pass the (b) allele to every offspring. When you combine two of these alleles, the resulting genotype is <em>(bb);</em> therefore, the resulting  offspring have white fur.

Explanation:

A homozygous trait can be described as a trait in which both the alleles for a gene are similar. A heterozygous trait can be described as a trait in which both the alleles of a gene are different. If an allele masks the effect of another allele, it is said to be dominant. the allele that gets suppressed is termed as recessive.

Hence, for a recessive trait to occur both the alleles of a gene should be homozygous recessive.

The punnet square for the above cross is shown below:

        b       b

b       bb     bb

b       bb      bb

What is the term that refers to the breaking down of dead organisms and wastes done by prokaryotes?
Zigmanuir [339]
The answer is decomposers.

After the death of producers and consumers, decomposers (such as Actinobacteria, or other bacteria which are prokaryotes) eat that dead organisms and carbon, nitrogen, and other elements are released into the environment. It should be taken into consideration that eukaryotes (such as fungi) can be decomposers as well.
