Answer:
Analogous or convergent structure.
Explanation:
Analogous structures can be defined as structures that have similar purposes but look completely different from each other. in other words it means that they serve the same functions in different species, but they are independently evolved. Examples of analogous structures are
- wings on butterfly, bats and birds
- Fins in penguins and fish
Answer:
Cyanobacteria. (Ans. A)
Explanation:
Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes, are a phylum of bacteria. They are also called as blue-green algae and obtain their energy through the process of photosynthesis. They are commonly found in fresh water and terrestrial environment such as land, in rocks even in animal cells (fur).
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic (oxygenic) bacteria. They harvest the energy of sun, absorb carbon dioxide and release O2. Cyanobacteria also contain chlorophyll such as plants and algae and convert carbon dioxide to sugar through the process of carbon fixation.
Cyanobacteria lack nucleus and other organelles like found in algae and plants. Instead of these they have double outer cell membrane and folded inner thylakoid member which are used in the process of photosynthesis.
Answer:
a) The genes present on separate chromosomes exhibit indepedent assortment.
b) The genotype of tall and purple flower parent= TTPp
The genotype of short and purple flower parent: ttPp
Explanation:
a) In a dihybrid cross, if the genes are present on the same chromosome, they will not exhibit independent assortment. The genes present on the same chromosome are called linked genes. Linked genes are inherited together. The absence of independent assortment of a linked gene gives more of parental types in F2 progeny. Therefore, if genes are not present on a separate chromosome, Mendel’s ratios deviate.
b) Alleles for tallness and purple flower are dominant. In the progeny, all the plants are tall. This means that the dominant tall plant is homozygous. With respect to flower color, the trait exhibits segregation of dominant and recessive alleles and both purple and white flower progeny are obtained. This makes both the plants heterozygous for the flower color gene.
The genotype of tall and purple flower parent= TTPp
The genotype of short and purple flower parent: ttPp
Answer:
Lakes and rivers provide Canadians not only with drinking water, food, transportation networks and recreational opportunities, but also with hydroelectricity. In fact, Canada is one of few countries around the world to rely on hydropower for more than half of its electricity needs.
