Answer:

Answer is option A.

Vestigial features are fully developed and functional in one group of organisms but reduced and function less in a similar group.

Explanation:

  • Vestigial structures are anatomical features such as cells, tissues or organs in an organism that are previously functional and performed some important functions in the organism but no longer serve any functions in the current form of the organism and become useless as a result of a large evolutionary change. Examples include the coccyx or the tailbone in humans, the pelvic bone of a snake, wisdom teeth in humans, nipples in human males, the wings of flightless birds such as kiwi, ostrich, etc.
  • Homologous features are the features that are similar in different organisms having similar embryonic origin and development and are inherited from a common ancestor that also had that feature. Also, they might have different functions. An example is the presence of four limbs in tetrapods such as crocodiles, birds, etc.
  • Analogous features are the features that are superficially similar in different organisms but had separate evolutionary origins i.e., different in origin, but similar in function. An example includes the wings on a fly, a moth, and a bird where the wings were developed independently as adaptations to perform the common function of flying.
  • Polygenic features are the traits or features that are controlled by multiple genes that are located on the same or different chromosomes and are also affected by the environment. These features do not follow Mendel’s pattern of inheritance and are represented as a range of continuous variation. Examples of polygenic traits or features include skin color, height, hair color, eye color, etc. For example, there is wide variation in the human skin color (from light to dark) and height (short or tall or somewhere in between).
  • Sympatry describes a species or a population that inhabit the same geographic region at the same time. In sympatric speciation, new species are evolved from a surviving ancestral species while both the species inhabit the same place at the same time i.e., in a single population, reproductive isolation occurs without geographic isolation.

gavmur [86]

When a population is small in a habitat, its population growth is exponential. This means it doubles its population with every generation. This is because there is plenty of resources and little competition between individuals of the population. However, as the population grows bigger, the population reaches carrying capacity (the maximum number that the ecosystem can hold). The growth slows and stagnates as stiff competition results to an equal death rate as birth rate.

Your medical bill is 2345 your health insurance covers 70% after a 120 deductible what amount of the bill will you pay
astra-53 [7]
The solution for the problem is:
Since there is $120 deductible, you get to pay…$2345 - $120 = $2225.
But since the insurance covers 70%, so you will only pay the 30%, so it is:30% x 2255 =30/10 * 2225 == $667.50 would be the amount you will be paying.

What cause the air current to curve?
soldi70 [24.7K]

The Coriolis force bends the air current.

Explanation:

  • Coriolis force is an inertial force that opposes or deflects the motion of a freely moving mass from its original path.
  • The Deflection of wind and ocean current on Earth are all the effect of coriolis force.
  • Such an effect is termed as Coriolis effect.
  • Coriolis force act to a particular point of reference and not beyond that.
