“DNA” stands for: Deoxyribonucleic Acid
The researchers used different radioactive elements to label the DNA and proteins in viruses. This allowed them to identify which molecule the viruses inserted into bacteria. DNA was the molecule they identified. This confirmed that DNA is the genetic material.
Answer:
Vestigial structures do not have a function, yet they are homologous to functional structures in related species. They are important because they provide clues to the ancestry of the organism. Many species look similar as embryos.
Long ears have to be dominant:
If this IS true then these would be your 'parents':
L = long ears
l = curly ears
LL x ll
If you cross the homozygous recessive curly eared rabbit (ll) with homozygous dominant long eared rabbit (LL) you would get 100% Ll - all would look long eared.
A challenge to traditional (pre-1860) ideas about species came from embryology, when it was discovered that embryos of dissimilar organisms, such as sharks and humans, resemble each other. Embryology involves the study of the formation and the development of an embryo and the fetus. It is one type of evidence of evolution such that the embryos of many different kinds of animals, mammals, reptiles, birds, fish among others, are similar showing a common ancestry.
