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.
C. is the answer.

Answer: All the statements of the question are correct.
Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by formation of defective hemoglobin protein, which results in sickle shaped RBC ( red blood cell).
This disease is caused by mutation in the gene that is responsible for the protein hemoglobin ( which transport oxygen throughout body).
It is inherited by the offspring when both the mutated copy of genes ( one from each parent) are passed to him.
Carriers of the disease exhibit increased resistance to malarial parasites by controlling the level of free haem in the blood ( through enzyme heme oxygenase that produces a toxic carbon monoxide gas). The resistance thus developed, is a mutation.
Therefore, all the statements in the given question are correct.
Answer:
I believe you can prove a theory more than a hypothesis. A law is definite.
