• Homologous structures: Both Ostriches have wings similar in form to those of their ancestors, but that do not allow the birds to fly.
Homologous structures are those that have structural similarities but are different in function. For example, if we look at the anatomical structure of a bird’s wing, it is very similar in structure with a human arm. However, over the course of time they have evolved to perform different functions.
• Vestigial structures: The inner ear bones of mammals have evolved from bones that form the jaws of reptiles.
Vestigiality refers to the process in which some structure lose their function over the course of evolution in some specie but they are functionally normal in other species. Such a structure is the inner ear bones of mammals which donot perform an important function in mammals but do perform in reptiles.
• DNA sequence data: Both Genes involved in RNA replication are conserved among bacteria and animals, suggesting a common evolutionary origin.
The sequencing of genetic data is an excellent method of finding the evolutionary histories and relatedness of different organisms. This field of sciences is called phylogenetics and the mentioned example is the result of phylogenetics.
• Analogous structures: The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates arose independently, indicating a different evolutionary origin.
Analogous structures are those that have similar function but they look very different in structure or anatomy. This is because they have been evolved from different ancestors and perform different functions. One example of these structures is mentioned, The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates that look different bur perform same function.
The answer is:
Echinodermata
The word echinodermata is Greek which literally means "Spiny Skin". Echinodermata is a phylum under kingdom animalia. Not all of them have spiny skins, but most of them do. Other characteristics would be their radially symmetric body. They have appendages that grow outward from the center. Examples of echinoderms would be sea stars and sea urchins.
Answer:
the fish couldn't eat
Explanation:
some of the fish and plants feed off of plants out of water. by removing them, they lost their nutrients.
Answer:
A: Suited for their environment
Explanation:
You can automatically eliminate B and C, since they both say that animals with adaptations that won't work with their environment would have a higher survival rate. This doesn't make sense; adaptations that wouldn't suit an environment would actually lower the population's chances of reproduction and survival.
That leads us to A and D. However, A would be the correct answer. Organisms with adaptations that suited their environment would help them (since it would make the organism more compatible with their environment), rather than having no change at all.
Hope this helped!
B. all eukaryotic cells
hoped this helped!
