Explain the evolutionary relationship between the fin of a fish and the flipper of a whale.

Answer:

The presence of fins in both species represents an adaptation to the same environment (i.e., sea), but in no way does this adaptation means close evolutionary homology between fishes and mammal cetaceans (whales)

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.

mrs_skeptik [129]
<span>adding a unit to move a susceptible group enough to prevent metabolism is known as shifting.
These phenomena happen especially for liposoluble organism circulating in blood like drugs an hormones.
these molecules circulating blood can be divided into two forms : 
The free-form: which is the active part, it circulates freely in the blood, but are easily metabolised.
The bound form: it can be bound to other molecules from the organisms depending on its affinity like proteins (albumin, glycoproteins). this form is not active but is prevented from metabolism.

Competition for bounding proteins can happen between two drugs for example. If they have a different degree of affinity for proteins, then the most affine will displace the less affine from the protein and bound it, and that is call shifting</span>

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

A. Fuel.

Explanation:

Coal is extensively used as a fuel in many countries for the production of electricity. When coal is heated, the heat energy is used to convert the liquid water into steam which is used to move turbines in the electric power plant. When these turbines moves, the electricity is produced. This fossil fuel is also used for warming of rooms and cooking delicious foods.

In which ways can the individual steps of this process be regulated to lead to higher or lower expression of a particular protei
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

There are many points at which eukaryotic gene expression can be controlled, through pretranscriptional control, transcriptional control, and posttranscriptional control

Explanation:

The pretranscriptional control determines the accessibility of chromatin to the transcription machinery. It is affected by supercoiling and methylation. It is also known as epigenetic regulation, and it does not depend on the sequence but on the conformation of the DNA.

While transcriptional control determines the frequency and / or speed of transcription initiation through the accessibility of the start sites, the availability of transcription factors and the effectiveness of promoters.

The post-transcriptional control is the one that is exercised once the transcript has finished synthesizing. It can be of several types:

• Maturation control: As the RNA adjustment can be made.

• Transport control: Most RNA has to go out to the cytoplasm to perform its function. For this they have to cross the pores of the nuclear membrane, where you can select the RNAs that will be transported and those that will not.

• Stability control: The half-life of RNA can be regulated by the expression of RNAs or mRNA stabilizing proteins in the cytoplasm.

• Translational control: It is exercised on the frequency with which the mRNAs begin to be translated. It can also affect the frequency with which proteins mature and the availability of enzymatic effectors.
