Osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of molecules of a solution of lower concentration into a solution of higher concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

  • When water molecules moves across a membrane, it is called osmosis.
  • Osmosis is an important life process which ensures that some activities in the body that requires certain molecules to function are properly tended to.
  • The semi-permeable membrane do not allow all form of materials to pass through.
  • It selectively selects the matter that will pass through.

Sharks, whales, and dolphins share similar features such as body shape and the position of fins. However, sharks have gills for
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Part a:

Whales and sharks share a common ancestor for superficial characteristics

Part b:

The vestigial pelvic bone of whales and dolphins indicates that they descended from an ancestor that lived on land.

Explanation:

Part a:

Whales and sharks possess similar body shapes and fin positions not because of descent from a common ancestor but due to their shared aquatic habitat. Whales share more characteristics with humans than with sharks. This indicates close phylogenetic ties (ancestral similarities) between humans and whales whereas sharks and whales have evolved independently. If they shared a common ancestor, they would have similar anatomical characters as well.

Part b:

Vestigial Structure:

A vestigial structure is an anatomical characteristic that is believed to have served a specific function for an organism in the past but as the organism evolved, the structure lost its function.

Pelvic bones are required by animals to move their lower limbs to be able to walk on land.  Whales possess vestigial pelvic bones because they have evolved from an ancestor that lived on land.

Explain how studying viruses led to the discovery that DNA contains genetic material
Ainat [17]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Hershey and Chase Experiment:

Viruses, such as T2 Bacteriophage infect by injecting their genetic material into a cell. When Hershey and Chase used radioactive isotopes of sulfur (marking proteins) and phosphorous (marking DNA) and saw which was injected into the cell by the T2 Bacteriophage, sulfur was found outside while phosphorous was found inside the cell. That means that DNA was injected into the cell, not proteins. As the genetic material is injected into the cell to hijack it, and as DNA was injected inside while proteins remained outside, DNA is the genetic material.
