All evolutionary changes that allow a species to change in response to the environment, are originally a result of beneficial DNA mutations.

Beneficial genetic (DNA) mutations are result in individuals with special characteristics that allow them to survive better in the environment so they pass their genes to the next generation.

Here's a fictional example I made just for you!: Lets say you have an alien species called Hibas. They are jelly blobs that float around, don't move, and open their mouths to capture neon shrimps that happen to swim into their mouths. But one day a certain Hiba developed some muscles through a genetic mutation. It was able to "wiggle" through the water and steer itself instead of floating around. This allowed it to eat more neon shrimp than the other Hibas, so it grew faster and was able to reproduce faster. It's kids also had muscles and had an advantage so they reproduced faster then the other Hibas. Eventually the whole Hiba species started to have muscles because the ones that didn't weren't able to compete and did not survive as well. 
The reason that most of the Hibas developed muscles was because one of them had a mutation that allowed it to have muscles. This was a BENEFICIAL mutation that allowed it to SURVIVE BETTER.

tatyana61 [14]

This evidence suggest that all three living creatures that are mentioned have a common ancestor, even though they have been split into different types of groups of living organism millions of years ago.

Science suggests that all of the living organisms on the planet have a common ancestor. Since we are talking about a common ancestor that lived few hundred million years ago, the living organisms split into different groups, and they do not resemble each other nowadays. The fruit fly is an insect, and the humans and mice are mammals, so they are into totally different groups, and it is easy to see by the genetic evidence that they are very distantly related, but the humans and mice are much more closely related because they belong to the same super family, and their connection is much more recent.

What is the primary function of the juxtaglomerular complex?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Juxtaglomenular is a structure in the kidney which regulates the function of each nephron, the functional units of the kidney. The main function of the  juxtaglomerular cells is to secrete renin in response to:

Stimulation of the beta-1 adrenergic receptor

Decrease in renal perfusion pressure (detected directly by the granular cells)

Decrease in NaCl concentration at the macula densa, often due to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate

Explanation:

The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a specialized structure formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole. It is located near the vascular pole of the glomerulus and a structure in the kidney that regulates the function of each nephron, the functional units of the kidney.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Tell Molly that the bleeding will stop because hemostasis is the way the body stops blood loss when something happens to a vessel. This is the process of the blood clotting. If we didn't have hemostasis bleeding would continue. Unless she has hemophilia, the blood will stop. The first thing that happens is vascular constriction, then formations of platelet plugs, then the blood clots (coagulation) last the fibrous tissue grows (Fibrosis and fibrinolysis)
