D) Studies of embryos during development

Answer:

C

Explanation:

When researching on the lineage of 2 animals from a common ancestor, one can deduce it accurately from DNA samples and various bodily characteristics from the body of the 2 animals in comparison to the common ancestor.

A) Strands of DNA allows for scientist to deduce the percentage similarity between 2 animals. The more similar means that the closer the relatedness is between 2 species.

B) Bones and muscle structure gives one a rough gauge on similarity of both organisms. E.g. Compare human bone, muscle to chimpanzee bone muscle.

C) Comparison of food items is the worst methods as different species may feed on different types of food due to natural selection. E.g. Finch bird example on the galapegos island or sth.

D) growth of embryos of similar animals would have similar developmental stages and changes that is quite distinct to each species, allowing one to deduce the closeness of the 2 animals to a common ancestor.

Why is it important that the phospholipid bilayer be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic?
lbvjy [14]
<span>It is important that the phospholipid bilayer is both hydrophobic in the surface and hydrophilic inside to control and manage the incoming organic compounds mainly water from exceeding the needed amount or destablizing the concentration established by the cells. </span>
<span>Hydrophilic is a characteristic of an object which is attracted to water or can synthesize with water. In contrast to hydrophobic like fats, oils and lipis which has a strong aversion and dislike to water molecules. </span>
Transmembrane proteins are found in the plasma membrane. Hydrophilicregions are embedded <span>within the membrane, and Hydrophobic regions project from both surfaces of the bilayer. </span><span>
Approximately 20-80% of the cell membrane is composed of lipids, the rest, is made up of protein. The lipid layer of the membrane gives it flexible and permeable characteristic. While the protein part assists in transport of molecules it needs to survive.<span>

The lipids in the bilayer of the cell membrane have tails that are...
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: Hydrophobic

Explanation:

Think about how water reacts with oil. When you mix the two the oil would stay in little drops within the water so they are not mixing. The tails of the membrane prevent water from leaking out by sticking together and not letting water through. Just to solidify this Phobia= fear, lipids are water "fearing".
