<h2>Answer:</h2>

The given examples shows homologous structures and divergent evolution.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Penguins, alligators, humans, monkey and bats are very different creatures. Nonetheless, they all have very similar structures. Each have a humerus, radius, ulna, and carpels in their forelimbs. Although each bone looks different in each species, the bones serve similar functions in the different organisms. This shows homologous structures.

Homologous Structure: A homologous structure is an example of an organ or bone that appears in different animals, which are anatomically similar structure demonstrating descent from a common ancestor.
This shows divergent evolution as they have evolved through common ancestor.

Result: The given examples shows that the animals have homologous structures.

On rare occasions, mutations can be beneficial to an organism.<br> a. True<br> b. False

iogann1982 [59]

Yes, this is true, and it is actually one of the organisms driving evolution! Some organisms develop mutations that are actually beneficial (better eye-sight, for example) and they're more likely to pass those to their children that individuals without those mutations!

Which of the following can be related to heat flow and movement of molten rock within the interior of the Earth?

stiks02 [169]

The answer is; D

The plasticity of rock in the mantle and the convection currents in the region are responsible for tectonic plate movements. The hot molten rock from deep in the mantle rise and is replaced by the cooler rock at the upper mantle. These convections are similar to those of water in a boiling pot. As the tectonic plates move (as they are dragged by these convections) and collide, earthquakes are caused. In addition, at subductions zones (where two plates collide) there occurs high volcanic activity.

Answer:

B. Mitochondria

Explanation:

Mitochondria are known as the power house of the cell. They are the sites of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into energy molecules such as ATP and energy storage molecules such as NADH and FADH2.
In this scenario, since the cell's energy levels fall and metabolism ceases, the organelle most likely affected is the mitochondria.
If mitochondria are affected, glucose will not be metabolized to ATP and the cell will not have sufficient energy for cellular functions.
