Vestigial structures<span> are often homologous to </span>structures<span> that are functioning normally in other species</span>
Answer:
Tight junctions - prevent liquid from seeping between cells
Desmosomes - act as rivets to hold adjacent cells together when epithelial tissue moves
Gap junctions - allow movement of cytosol, ions, and small molecules between animal cells
Plasmodesmata - openings through the cell walls of plant cells that allow adjacent cells to share materials
Explanation:
1) Tight junctions are one of the cell junctions found in animal cells. Tight junctions function to prevent the flow of liquid materials between cells.
2) Desmosomes are another type of cell junctions whose function is to form a connection between two adjacent cells. The structure formed by this connection confers strength upon the tissues involved.
3) Gap junctions are the most commonly found cell junctions found in animal cells that connects adjacent cells allowing the passage of cytosol, ions and other small molecules in them from one adjacent cell to another.
4) Plasmodesmata is a cell junction found in plant cells. They are small openings lying across the cell wall of plant cells whose function is to connect the cells and facilitate the movement of materials from one cell to another.
The nutrient is phosphorus
<h3>The phosphorus cycle</h3>
Phosphorus cycles between living components of the earth (biosphere) and the soil (geosphere).
The element's reservoir is mainly the sediments of the ocean and rocks. Phosphorus gets into the soil by weathering of rocks.
Plants are able to pick the element up from the soil and animals are able to get their phosphorus by consuming plants.
When plants and animal die, their body decomposes and the phosphorus in them enters the soil.
Thus, the cycle being referred to in the illustration is the phosphorus cycle.

#SPJ1
Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. ... These new combinations result from the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes. Such exchange means that the gametes produced through meiosis exhibit an amazing range of genetic variation.
