andre [41]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is option 2. Common ancestry.

Explanation:

The homologous structure is the structure that has a similar anatomical structure or underlying skeleton and can perform a different function in different organisms.

Homologous structures are similar in different organisms because they diverge from a common ancestor. All organisms that have homologous structures are considered to have a common ancestry. for example, human arm, dogs forearm, bat's wing all have a similar skeleton structure  

Thus, the correct answer is option 2. Common ancestry.

How does mitosis provide for genetic consistency in an organism and why is this important?
castortr0y [4]
 <span>Mitosis is Asexual reproduction. It promotes genetic consistency because all offspring are exactly identical to the parent, unlike meiosis where homologous chromosomes are randomly dispersed between four daughter cells. organisms that only reproduce asexually are at a disadvantage because all organisms in their population are identical so if there were to be a major environmental change, they would have less of a chance of survival compared to a population of sexually reproducing organisms that are all genetically different.</span>

SVEN [57.7K]
Petroleum Products

Petroleum and its products are mainly composed of carbon polymers (chains), as the backbone, with different structural and functional groups. Plastic, for example, is made of polypropylene and polybutylene which is mainly made of carbon atoms, whose monomers are linked in a chain to form polymers that make up the products.
Synthetic rubber on the other hand is made of copolymers of carbon and other addictives such as styrene. Synthetic fiber is made of nylon that is composed of a copolymer between carboxylic acid and amides.
