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.

The atomic mass of an element is equal to the:
arlik [135]

The answer should be the third option "number of protons and neutrons." The atomic mass of a element is equal to the amount of protons, and neutrons added together in that element. So for example if we are trying to find the atomic mass of hydrogen you would add the total amount of protons and neutrons together to find it's mass although it doesn't equal the exact amount of it's mass but it's close.

Hope this helps.

Explain natural selection and adaptations of bacteria
faust18 [17]

Natural selection can cause speciation, which increases the biodiversity of an ecosystem. Several bacterial colonies are placed on a petri dish that contains agar with antibiotics. After 24 hours, ninety percent of the original bacteria die, but the remaining ten percent survive and later reproduce.
