It is believed that this happens because some signals that regulate development are the same between different species and because <span>they share ancient genes. </span>These ancient genes are expressed during a middle "phylotypic stage" of embryonic development for all species.

For example,  human and animal embryos go through very similar stages of early development and share similar features such as tails and gill-like structures. The major difference appears to be how long it takes to reach each of these same stages.

When a gummy bear shrinks, is that considered hypertonic or hypotonic?
raketka [301]

Answer:

Hypertonic

Explanation:

In hyper-tonic solutions, the cell will shrink and crenate. The mass and volume of a gummy bear that is placed in a salt solution will decrease due to the effect of osmosis. When placed in water, a hypo-tonic solution, the gummy bear will expand in size and volume due to the water entering it.

In an ecosystem, can there be more carnivores than herbivores ?
vodka [1.7K]
There can but it will not last long. There are probably more carnivores because they were taking advantage of the supply of herbivores and now they will start to die off. So I guess my answer is no, not normally and not for a long time.
