Why are vestigial structures are considered examples ofhomologous structures?​

Vestigial structures are often homologous to structures that are functioning normally in other species. Therefore, vestigial structures can be considered the evidence for evolution, the process by which beneficial heritable traits arise in populations over an extended period of time.

What are the five functions of the skeleton system
Ann [662]
Protection- the cranium and ribs protect the brain and vital organs in the chest

Shape- gives shape to the body and makes you tall or short

Support- holds your vital organs in place when playing sports. The vertebrae column holds the body upright

Movement- muscles are attached to bones, which are joined. When the muscles contract, the bones move

Blood Production- red blood cells(to carry oxygen) and white blood cells(to protect against infection) are produced in the bone marrow of some bones

When the carbon atoms of the glucose molecule are broken apart in glycolysis and the kerbs cycle,what is the result?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer is: when the carbon atoms of the glucose molecule are broken apart in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, result is a. CO2 and ATP.

In Krebs cycle aerobic organisms release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from glucose into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Molecule 1 has the nitrogenous base sequence TCA AGT. Which set of bases in Molecule 2 can bond to that sequence in a complement
serious [3.7K]

Complete question:

Molecule 1 has the nitrogenous base sequence TCA AGT. Which set of bases in Molecule 2 can bond to that sequence in a complementary way?

a. UCAAGU

B. AGTACA

C. AGUUCA

D. UCAATA

Answer:

C. AGUUCA

Explanation:

DNA template strand and the corresponding RNA have complementary sequences. Adenine in the DNA template strand pairs with "uracil" base of RNA while cytosine pairs with its "guanine" base. Similarly, thymine base in DNA template strand pairs with "adenine" base in the RNA. This occurs since RNA does not have a thymine base. RNA has uracil base instead. Therefore, the molecule 1 with sequence  TCA AGT would bind to the molecule 2 with the " AGU UCA" sequence.  

Molecule 1: DNA template:  TCA AGT  

Molecule 2: mRNA:              AGUUCA

In humans, excess blood glucose is stored in the liver and in muscle tissue in the form of glycogen. Glycogen is a long chain of
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Polysaccharide

Explanation:

These are large molecules which are formed from the union of many monosaccharides units through condensation. Excess glucose in the body is stored in form of glycogen and can be hydrolyzed when glucose levels go down. Glucagon stimulates liver cells to break down glycogen into glucose.
