1. Structure such as the human tailbone or appendix that evolution has reduced in size because it is no longer used = d. vestigial structure
2. study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species:
= g. comparative anatomy
3. structure that is similar in related organisms because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = c. homologous structure
4. study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species: study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species = j. comparative embryology
5. scientist who finds and studies fossils to learn about evolution and understand the past:
= i. paleontologist
6. mistaken idea of jean baptiste lamarck that evolution occurs through the inheritance of traits that an organism develops in its own lifetime: = h. inheritance of acquired characteristics
7. process by which a single species evolves into many new species to fill available niches:
= e. adaptive radiation
8. relative ability of an organism to survive and produce fertile offspring: = k. fitness
9. structure that is similar in unrelated organisms because it evolved to do the same job, not because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = f. analogous structure
10. study of how and why plants and animals live where they do: = a. biogeography
11. process in which organisms evolve traits useful to humans because people select which individuals are allowed to reproduce and pass on their genes to successive generations:
= b. artificial selection
Studying evolutionary relationship among organisms
They are usually held out for a period of FOUR TO SIX WEEKS after diagnosis. Splenomegaly is an infectious disease that corrupt the spleen and the enlarged spleen usually persist even after all the symptoms have disappeared. Because of this, athletes should not resume active exercise too soon. Generally, the shortest period after which it is okay to resume active exercise is four weeks after all the symptoms have gone.
The answer is a compound leaf!! Hope this helps ;)
The overall function of the digestive system as digestion and absorption of food stuffs, and the general activities of each digestive system organ is; Ingest, digest, absorb, defecate.
Ingestion involves placing food into the mouth, propulsion involves propelling food from one organ to the next using peristalsis. Mechanical digestion involves the physical fragmenting food into smaller particles. Chemical digestion refers to breaking down food molecules to building blocks by enzymes. Absorption is the transport of digested end products to blood or lymph; and finally Defecation which involves the elimination of indigestable material from GI tract by anus.
