Answer:

<em><u>The correct option is D) The two species have a common ancestor</u></em>

Explanation:

In evolutionary studies, homologous structures can be described as structures which are similar in organisms of different species because they had a common ancestor in the past. These structures may not perform the same function but are similar because they arose from a common ancestor. Hence, the bone in a bird's wing can be homologous to a bone in a lizard leg because they have a common ancestor in the past.

Where is the synthesis of membrane proteins completed?
ioda
The synthesis of membrane proteins is completed in both the smooth endo retic for the lipid tails and the rough endo retic for the rest of the phospholipid structure. Proteins are transported to the golgi apparatus in vesicles (membranous sacs) and bud off of the golgi apparatus in vesicles as well. The vesicle then fuses with the membrane and releases its contents.

Consider two very distantly related species, Species A and Species B. These species live in distinct but similar environments an
never [62]

Answer:

convergent evolution

Explanation:

If we have two species that share a similar trait or look alike a lot, but they live in places isolated from each other, and they only have a very distant relation, then it is a case of convergent evolution. This type of evolution occurs with species that are not closely related, but they live in environments where having the same or very similar traits is advantageous. This can often lead to a confusion when looking at the species only on the outside, and it can be very misleading. As an example we can take the sabretoothed predators that existed in the past. Both the smiloden and the thylacosmilus had large saber like teeth, and even their bodies looked very similar, so one would assume that they are closely related, but that was not the case. The smilodon was part of the cat family, while the thylacosmilus was a marsupial, making them very distantly related. They developed same same and some very similar traits because their environment created the evolutionary pressure for those traits to develop as they were advantageous, despite them evolving in totally different places and separately.
