Explanation:

1. Human and apes are evolutionarily closely related based on the analysis of their DNA sequences.

2. Wings of bats and birds serve the same function and are analogous structure.

3. Comparative anatomy is the study of the similarities and differences in structures in similar species.

4. Fossils demonstrate that during the evolution of the whale, the whale moved from land to the sea.

5. The human tailbone and appendix are vestigial organs.

6. The homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from the common ancestor.

7. Comparative embryology is the study of similarities and differences in the embryo of different species.

8. The forelimb of all the mammals has basic bone structure.

Which of the following factors might cause checkpoint genes to interrupt cell division? Check all that apply. Neurological signa
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Neurological signals sent from fear responses in an organism tell the cell to stop. The cell's DNA has been damaged somehow. The cell's DNA was replicated incorrectly.

Explanation:

All the three options given can cause checkpoint genes to interrupt cell division.

Checkpoint genes are transcription genes that control cell cycle and sense defects during cells processes like DNA replication, segregation e.t.c and create response till the defects is repaired in the DNA. The important of checkpoint is that it ensure enough nutrients are available to support for division, ensure that the DNA has not been damaged, ensure that cells DNA is copied correctly and make sure cells have enough RNA for their protein synthesis.

Checkpoints genes can interrupt cell division if the dna is damaged, Dna is copied incorrectly and neurological signal sent from fear responses in an organisms tell the cells to stop.
