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.

What is the outcome when a cell undergoes meiosis?
mart [117]
When a cell undergoes meiosis,the outcome of the process is FOUR HAPLOID CELLS.
Meiosis refers to a form of cell division which always results in the formation of four daughter cells. The four daughters cells produce have diploid cells which contains half the original of chromosomes from the parents. A diploid cell has two of each chromosome, one from each parent. The eggs and the sperms that are involved in reproduction possess haploid cells. In meiosis, the whole process start with diploid cells which divide twice to produce four haploid cells.
