Answer:

Comparative anatomy is the study of similarities and differences in organisms.

Explanation:

Scientists used this to compare organisms and their traits through time. They argued that, theoretically, organisms with similar structures must have acquired those traits from their ancestors, hence its use as evidence for evolution.

The study of comparative anatomy predates the modern study of evolution. Early evolutionary scientists like Buffon and Lamarck<span> used comparative anatomy to determine relationships between species. Organisms with similar structures, they argued, must have acquired these traits from a common ancestor. Today, comparative anatomy can serve as the first line of reasoning in determining the relatedness of species. However, there are many hidden dangers that make it necessary to support evidence from comparative anatomy with evidence from other fields of study.</span>

Billions

Explanation:

"Then each of these strands can be used to create two new copies, and so on, and so on. The cycle of denaturing and synthesizing new DNA is repeated as many as 30 or 40 times, leading to more than one billion exact copies of the original DNA segment."

Organism in which the embryonic blastopore becomes its anus is called

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

deuterostomes

Explanation:

During the formation of the gastrula, a group of cells migrates towards the inside. The resultant sac forms the embryonic gut. The embryonic gut has an opening that opens to the outside and is called the blastopore. The blastopore may give rise to mouth or anus. In some organisms, blastopore develops into the anus. These organisms are called deuterostomes. The other organisms in which blastopore develops into the mouth are called protosomes. Echinoderms, hemichordates, and chordates are deuterostomes.

What would most likely happen if a person increased the amount of saturated fat in his or her diet?

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The person's risk of cardiovascular disease would increase.

Explanation:

saturated refers to all single bonds in the hydrocarbon chain, meaning no kinks in the chain. The hydrocarbon has the most number of carbons it can have, as there are all single bonds. If the hydrocarbon has even one less carbon, there would be kink, and it would be unsaturated and liquid. Our body needs less carbon, so unsaturated fats are better. But having saturated fats means no liquid, rather solid, which means harder for the blood to get to the heart. So your risk would cardiovascular disease would increase
