Anatomical homology in vertebrate forelimbs is considered to be evidence for evolution because: 1. differences among vertebrate

forelimbs suggest that they evolved independently. 2. the anatomy of the vertebrate forelimb is not currently under natural selection. 3. similarities among vertebrate forelimbs suggest that they evolved from a common ancestor. 4. such homologies do not exist in other areas of the vertebrate skeleton. 5. similarities among vertebrate forelimbs suggest that they have evolved convergently

Answer :3. similarities among vertebrate forelimbs suggest that they evolved from a common ancestor.

Explanation:

The study of differences and similarities in the anatomy of different species is comparative anatomy. It is based on the concept that  

1.)Homologous structures  which are present in different species, because they have a common decent and must have evolved  divergently from a shared ancestor. Theses anatomic structures may not be used for the same purposes. For example the forelimb of fox and whale.

2. Some  structures (Analogous)which are similar in different organisms must have evolved  ,(acquired through natural selection) through convergent evolution in similar environment,  and not inherited from a recent ancestor. These organisms usually use these structures for a common purpose. For example the streamline body shape   of shark and porpoises, which though are used for a common purpose of swimming, were inherited from different ancestors.

.  Example  of comparative anatomy is the common  bone structures in forelimbs of fox, whales, bats, and humans. These appendages is made up of  the same basic parts; despite serving  different functions.  

Comparative anatomy helps scientists in classification of organisms based on their similar characteristics of their anatomical structures.

Answer:

3. similarities among vertebrate forelimbs suggest that they evolved from a common ancestor

Explanation:

Homologous structures (i.e. organs) are structures that can differ in function, but are similar in form because they came from the same common ancestor.

Observing homologous organs in different taxa means that those  taxa come from a common ancestor that possessed such structure. It means that this structure throughout evolution adapted to different lifestyles (in thedifferent taxa) and acquired different functions.

Forelimbs of vertebrates is a common example of homology where  wings (i.e. bats), arms (i.e. primates),   front flippers (i.e. whales) and  forelegs (ie. horses) are all derived from the same ancestral  structure (tetrapod  ancestor).

Answer:

Detergents are knows as a class of molecules whose having unique properties to enable formation of hydrophobic-hydrophilic interaction among molecules in membrane. This unique property of detergents are used to dissolve membrane protein in water solution or in any solution.

Detergents are used to lyse cells, solubilize membrane lipids, and proteins, prevent protein crystalization, and nonspecific binding.

ANSWER ASAP PLEASE <br><br> What impact do trees have on the food web?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Abiotic factors such as latitude and temperature can impact biotic aspects of food web structure like the number of species, the number of links, as well as the proportion of basal or top species. These biotics factors can in turn influence network-structural aspects like connectance, omnivory levels or trophic level. In this way, plants make, or produce, the beginnings of most of the food energy on Earth. This is why plants are called producers. They use some of the food energy to carry out their own functions, and store the rest of the energy in their leaves, stems, roots and other parts.
