Answer:

One of Darwin's infamous lines of evidence regarding evolution is biogeographical evidence. Biogeographical, when broken down basically means how the biology (bio in biogeography) of organisms on Earth (geo in biogeography) migrated and moved across from their original place. Darwin used this as a line of evidence because he studied the movement or migration of certain species to gain an understanding on the changes within the environment, which due to natural selection, would eventually alter the species' traits. An example of biogeography would be fossils, and how there were different species on different parts of the world as well as species that went extinct due to environmental changes.

Darwin's second line of evidence for the theory of evolution would be adding onto biogeography in a sense where it, in and of itself, would be considered evidence regarding changes. Fossils are preserved or saved remains or skeletons of a used-to-be living organism. Fossils are a great way not only to track changes but also to discover possible new species that might not have been alive during Darwin's days. By carefully examining the evidence and information a single or numerous fossil gives Darwin, he could clearly, depending on the clarity and amount of remain within the fossil, see changes in bone structure.

Darwin's last line of evidence for the theory of evolution is anatomical evidence. Anatomical evidence is build upon the findings of fossils and comparing them to species that are alive today. Anatomical evidence allows common ancestry to be identified by looking and comparing similar traits to a pre-existing   organism to one today. One can also find the differences between the two organisms that are being compared to see if there is a relationship at all.

<h3>Transitional fossils</h3>

Transitional fossils are any fossilized remains of a life form which show common traits to both an ancestral group and its derived descendant group.

<em> Australopithecus afarensis </em>is a hominid that represents an evolutionary transition between modern bipedal humans and their quadrupedal ape ancestors.

Similarities in DNA

All species in the world share some amount of DNA. Species that are more related to each other share bigger amount of DNA than species that are less related. For example fruit fly and modern humans share 61% of their genome and chimps and humans share 96%.

Evolution of the eye

The PAX6 gene controls where eyes develop in animals ranging from fruit flies, octopuses, to mice and humans.

Why does it benefit an imperial shrimp to travel on a sea cucumber?
olasank [31]

Answer:

the imperial shrimp and the sea cucumber have what's referred to as a one sided symbiotic relationship. that's a type of relationship where there's two organisms, but only one of those organisms benefit. the other organism isn't helped, but it isn't hurt, either.

<u>an imperial shrimp benefits from its relationship with the sea cucumber because the shrimp, when hungry, can get a lift on his lil friend the sea cucumber and is dragged around the ocean to where there's food for shrimp to eat :)</u>

A trait, such as height, has high heritability because much of the variation between individuals is the result of genetic variat
Len [333]

This is because the traits like height, are influenced by environmental conditions around the individual. For example, there are two children born to same mother. But one is given best facilities, nutrition and care, whereas other one is brought up by a poor family, which hardly get good food to eat. His condition is much worse than the first case. In such a situation, the former child will grow up healthy and fit, and will have more height than the later one. Although, both got genes from same parent, but the environmental conditions influenced the expression of those genes differently.

The part that gives the cell shape and holds the cytoplasm
Tamiku [17]
The cellular membrane, in the case of cells that don't have a rigid cellular wall, outlines the cell and contains the cytoplasm but it's the cytoskeleton that is more responsible for the shape of a cell, which come in a variety of shapes: squamous, cuboide, colunar, neurons, etc. In cells that do have a rigid cellular wall, such as plant cells, it's the cellular wall that gives it <span>its shape.</span>

Protein synthesis is a multistep process. put the steps of protein synthesis in sequential order.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Replication - Transcription - Translation

Explanation:

Replication duplicates the DNA so that happens first. Then in transcription converts the DNA to mRNA which goes to the cytoplasm to make proteins. In translation proteins are made when codons and anti codons join to make amino acids which create the proteins.
