Answer:

Amino acid sequence that make up proteins are very particular to a species and can be similar to other organism in the same ancestry. Amino acid sequence also supports evolution by showing a similarity in the DNA sequence of species in the same lineage.

Answer: Similarities in amino acid sequence strongly suggest common ancestry

Explanation:

The chemical make-up and biochemical process of all organisms are as very similar. For example, all organisms

- are build up of the same types of complex molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins (polymers of amino acids) and nucleic acids

This similarity strongly suggest common ancestry for all organisms, thus leading to evolution of individual species

What would the growth equation look like for sessile populations (Sessile populations can’t move, like a barnacle)?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

births - deaths = growth

Explanation:

(births - deaths) + (immigrants - emmigrants) is what you would normally use to calculate the growth of a population, but because they can't move, you can cut out the immigrant and emmigrant part of the equation.

Explain how soaring and gliding birds use their air currents in their flight
ira [324]

Soaring and gliding birds like eagle, vulture, albatross, sea gulls etc are efficiently adapted to utilize the air currents in their flight.

Explanation:

The soaring flight and gliding movements are special adaptation developed by birds to meet the challenge of increasing turbulent air current.

Birds have the extraordinary skill of flying smoothly and effortlessly even at very high altitudes  

Birds soar by using thermal and dynamic soaring techniques.

Gliding movements help the birds to deflect the wind downward which helps to lift their bodies in the air. They do not flap their wings during gliding but just dive straight into the air which helps to increase their speed.

The adaptation of the bird’s structure with very light but strong bones on their wings helps to soar and glide in the air.
