Explain how convergent evolution leads to analogous structures.

Biology

<span>here you go Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages. Convergent evolution creates analogous structures that have similar form or function but were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups. The cladistic term for the same phenomenon is homoplasy.</span>

Identify the process that is necessary for sexual reproduction. Also, explain why it is necessary and identify how this process
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer would be meiosis.

In diploid organisms, meiosis is the process that results in the formation of four haploid daughter cells from single diploid parent cell. Each of the daughter cell contains half the number of chromosomes present in parent cell.

It results in the formation of haploid gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females) which is essential in the process of sexual reproduction.

The fusion of gametes results in the formation of diploid zygote that is, maintains the diploid nature of the organism.

Hence, in absence of meiotic division the chromosomal number would keep on doubling after each generation.

In addition, crossing over (exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids) also takes in the prophase-I of meiosis I. It increases the genetic variation within organisms of the species. It may add survival adaptations to the population.

What happens to an enzyme’s structure as it exceeds the typical human body temperature?
notsponge [240]
Hello.

When an enzyme exceeds the typical human body temperature, the enzyme's structure can denature and change - therefore the enzyme won't function properly.

Exposed to a high temperature, the enzyme will denature. This is an irreversible process in which the enzyme loses its shape and function.
