Answer:

Homologous structures

Explanation:

Homologous structures are parts of the skeleton of organisms are similar in structure. This gives the impression that their is a common  ancestor. Mostly the structures are not similar and the function may or may not be the same in appearance per-say such as fish fins and whale flippers.  The important part of homologous structures is that they have a skeletal similarity.

This, and the emergence of other structures is the product of evolution so each organism can have the best chance of adaptation to their environment. This ensures the survival of a species and the continuation of the next generation.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- flock defense

Explanation:

A flock is a group of same species of animals usually observed in the birds during migration.

The flock increases their fitness of survival by avoiding predators in which the one individual of the group gives a call in response to the predator.

The same predator call is repeated by every member of the flock which threatens the predator and the predator goes away. This flock response is considered as the defense response to predator and thus the mechanism is known as flock defense.

Thus, flock defense is the correct answer.

fredd [130]

Answer and Explanation:

The quality of the data can be higher in observational or experimental studies depending on the subject being researched.

In a way, we can think that experimental studies have better data quality, due to the design of the experiment and the control of the study groups and the variables that are not possible to be established in the obsevational experiments.

However, in the case of studies of abstract subjects, the experimental study ceases to provide high quality activities, and it is necessary to establish an observational study so that efficient data can be promoted.
