A

Water in the soil is held tightly by adhesive forces between the water molecules and the mineral content in soil particles - in the microspores.

Explanation:

While water passes through the macrospores of soil by gravity, water passes through the microspores mainly by cohesion between the water molecules and adhesion between the water molecules and soil minerals. The more surface area for the minerals in the soil (due to finer particle sizes) the higher the water retention rate of the soil. This is why soil with more humus (like silt and clay) retains water more than soils like sand.

<h2>Evolutionary analysis of organisms</h2>

Explanation:

  • Some organisms, which were characterized together determined to genetically very different .
  • Using the analysis of RNA developed by Carl Woese, scientists are now able to classify  the human evolution
  • living things based on genetic information instead of expressed characteristics.
  • Genetic  information is more specific and can give clues as to the evolutionary ancestry of  organisms.
  • That is the reason adding of various domains in previous system of classification is allowed for a comparison of species genetic code

Answer:

The process of cell division will slow down and the cell will die

Explanation:

Without the golgi apparatus or if its not working as well as it should be there would be no lysosomes or less. Without the lysosomes there will be a lot of junk/trash in the cell and it would have no way to break it down and get it out

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a vestigial structure

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are a rudimentary (or even functionless) version of a body part, but they have important functions in a closely correlated or evolutionarily close species, an example of which is the presence of eyes in fish of the genus Astyanax. The existence of these vestigial structures is strong evidence that evolution occurs in organisms, since this structure, today without much apparent function, may in the past have been extremely important to the ancestors of that species.
