Since homologous means same structure different functions, it shows that animals evolve to have the same structure as their ancestors but, have different uses to the part

Answer:

Homology in bat wings, alligator leg, and a human arm represents their divergent evolution from common ancestor.

Explanation:

Homologous organs share a common basic structure but are adapted to perform different functions according to the need of organisms. Wings of bats (flying mammal), leg of alligator (reptile) and human (terrestrial mammal) arm share common basic developmental plan but are adapted to serve in flight, movement and holding things respectively.

Presence of homologous organs in these organisms from different group represents their evolution from a common ancestor. This means that bats, human, and alligators should have a common ancestor. Divergent evolution of the descends from the common ancestor must have given rise to homologous structures.

Suppose a mutation occurs in an individual animal. What do you think would happen if the mutation had these different effects on
Nady [450]

Answer:

For effect #1, the mutation will become more common (A). This is because with the organism having more children, the trait will be passed around much faster and will spread to surrounding groups of animals.

For effect #2, the mutation will become more common (A). This is because the disease will kill the animals who do not carry the gene leaving only the animals with the trait, making it much more common

For effet #3, the mutation will disappear (B). This is because the animal carrying the gene will slowly die off. After all,  they will not be able to reproduce and pass the gene to their children.

For effect #4, the mutation will remain at a low level (C). This happens because since it procures no change there will be no reason to transfer it so it will become a recessive trait in the animals.

Explanation:

Hope this helps. . . <3
