Answer:

Homologous structures

Explanation:

Homologous structures are structures (i.e skeletal elements) that come from the same common ancestor but they appear in the descendants of the ancestor with some modifications, normally due to different functions.

The wing of bats, flippers of whales or dolphins and the forelimbs of horses is a common example of homologous structures. Bats, whales and horses are vertebrates and all came from the same vertebrate common ancestor.

The common ancestor of these organisms had the bones that make up these structures, but through evolution those bones that make up the homologous structure were modified to serve different functions. They were modified for the flight in bats, for swimming in whales and for life on land in horses.

Kay [80]
Population density  =number  of   individual  divided  land  area
land  area  should  be  in  square kilometers
therefore 120  ha  =120  x0.01=1.2 square kilometer  since   1 ha=0.01  kilometer  square
total  population=  (80  x  1500)/100=1200
population  density   is therefore=1200/1.2=1000

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Both studies support the concept that species operate within a narrow optimum temperature range and are coupled to enzymatic activity.

Explanation:

The studies shown in the question above started from the same concept to establish the scientific experiment and had the same objective related to the investigation as temperature changes in the environment where these organisms live influences the enzymatic activity and, therefore, the functioning of their organism, being able to including modifying the environment around them. In summary, we can say that the studies sought to support the concept that species operate within a narrow range of optimal temperature and are coupled with enzymatic activity.

Temka [501]
<span>Joints with no movement are called immoveable or fibrous joints.They are also called synathrosis, they are only separated by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue e.g are the sutures of the skull. Joints that are more loosely connected are called freely moveable or synovial joints. They are also called diarthrosis.The joints are held together by an articular capsule comprised of ligaments. A synovial membrane lines the inside of the capsule and secretes synovial fluid which lubricates the joint (hence it's name).</span>
