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>

How do meteorologists use isotherms and isobars?
nignag [31]

Answer:

A. To identity high- and low-pressure systems

Explanation:

Isobars are similar to the level lines on a topographic map, showing areas of similar pressure, they are also drawn in circles to represent the areas of similar air pressure over a geographical map.

Isotherms are usually displayed in color showing areas over a map that have the same temperature or are covered by a similar temperature system (heat or cold front for example).

Both are used in electronic media mostly (although in print in newspapers too), over a geographic map to position the systems.
