<span>The correct answer is common ancestry. Common ancestry is the explanation for species from completely different environments having similar features. For example: there is fossil evidence that whales are actually evolved from wolf-like animals due to fossil evidence of a transitional evolutionary stage (this is the fossil that can help provide evidence of this common ancestry) that shows a common ancestor between land mammals and whales.</span>

Which of the following options correctly describes the behavior of a tetrad during anaphase 1 of meiosis?
Svet_ta [14]

The answer is; C

Homologous chromosomes have the same genes on the same loci. However, they may have different forms of the same gene called alleles. These sister chromosomes, of a homologous pair, separate during anaphase I of meiosis. The two daughter cells formed will, therefore, have half the genetic material as the parent cell. This is because they will only have one set of the genes (as in diploid organisms) and are called gametes.

Name one way that water moves in the oceans, above ground, and below ground. Thanks! (I might know, but I can't think of it righ
Lesechka [4]
Water in the ocean move differently depending of the win speed. In the ground, it only moves downward due to gravity pulling in the water while the soil absorbs the water. Water above ground only go one direction due to the slope of the mountain or riven.

Which type of population has a greater chance of surviving, one with little diversity or one with a lot? Why?
Korvikt [17]

I would assume a population with greater diversity would survive above quantity because of the varying difference in the genetic capabilities.
