Complete question:
Which of the following pairs represent homologous structures?
- Wings of grasshopper and forelimbs of flying squirrel
-
Tentacles of Hydra and arms of starfish
-
Forelimbs of a bat and forelegs of a horse
-
Wings of a bird and wings of a moth
Answer:
3. Forelimbs of a bat and forelegs of a horse
Explanation:
Homologous characters are structures with the same basic elements. Their position in the body and the relations with adjacent structures are also the same in different organisms, and they even share the same embryological development.
These structures might show variations between the organisms exhibiting them. Variations might be related to their function and to the environment in which the organism lives. The function they accomplish is not necessarily the same in all the organisms involved.
These homologous characters are present in organisms related that share a common ancestor.
For example, whales, humans, and cats all have the same bones in the same order, but they matured differently in later embryological development.
Among the options, the only possible pair that represents homologous characters is option <em>3. Forelimbs of a bat and forelegs of a horse</em>. Both structures are the anterior extremities of the animals and share the same bones, even though they might differ in the development degree. Forelimbs and forelegs have the same position and relation with other structures in the body, and embryologically, they are the same.
Answer:
The molecules in the water spread apart. The molecules in the thermometer's liquid spread apart. When a thermometer was placed in water to measure the water’s temperature. the molecules in the thermometer liquid which is often mercury spreads apart and rises, this shows a temperature increase in the thermometer.
<span>Marine mammals can be classified as animal that lives
partially or wholly on coastal waters or oceans from survival while fish can be
classified as a cold blooded gill bearing, egg producing species. However,
whales survive by the development of echolacation, modified lungs, thick layers
of blubber and lager arteries among
other things to ensure their prosperity and survival.</span>
Answer:
d. Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.
hope it helps :)
