Answer:

You'd want to examine homologous structures in fossil remains. This can give a geologic time scale of evolution within certain fossil groups. ... Fossil evidence can give a general timeline for the common ancestor or origin or homologous structures as well as how they have changed since then.

Arte-miy333 [17]

The heart is a cone-shaped muscular organ located within the mediastinum of the thorax.

The mediastinum is the space lined with membranous tissue between the lungs. The mediastinum contains not only the heart but also the great vessels (pulmonary artery, aorta, pulmonary veins, and the superior and inferior vena cava), as well as parts of the esophagus and the trachea.

Its apex rests on the diaphragm and its superior margin lies at the level of the 2nd rib.

The apex of the heart is the conical area created by the confluence of the ventricles, but mainly by the left ventricle. It rests on the diaphragm. The superior margin of the heart, also known as the base, lies at the level of the second rib.

Approximately two-thirds of the heart mass is seen to the left of the midsternal border.

This is because to the left of the midsternal border lies the left ventricle which comprises most of the heart mass as the left ventricle is the one responsible for pumping blood throughout the systemic circulation and significant pressure should be overcame; resulting to the physiologic hypertrophy of the left ventricle.

The heart is enclosed in a serosal sac called the pericardium. The loosely fitting double outer layer consists of the outermost fibrous pericardium, lined by the parietal layer of the serous pericardium.

The pericardium is one of three layers of the heart (other ones being the myocardium and the endocardium); and is the outer layer of the heart. The pericardium is composed of two tissues, the fibrous pericardium and the serous pericardium. The pericardium functions to lubricate the movement of the heart by the action of the pericardial fluid.

The heart has four chambers. Relative to the roles of these chambers, the atria are the receiving chambers, whereas the ventricles are the discharging chambers.

The four chambers of the heart are namely the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and the left ventricle. Venous blood goes to the right atrium via the vena cavas then to the right ventricle via the tricuspid valve; then to the pulmonary circulation via the pulmonary artery where it will be oxygenated. From the pulmonary circulation, the left atrium will receive the oxygenated blood via the pulmonary veins then to the left ventricle via the mitral valve where it will be pumped to the systemic circulation via the aorta.

Question 2 of 25

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The structure labeled X in the diagram is a membrane protein.

Explanation:

Membrane proteins are integral parts of the cell membrane that enable the transfer of ions like sodium, potassium and chlorine and small molecules like glucose through the lipid bilayer. They differ from other types of cell proteins by their structure. As you can see on the diagram, hey form channels that enable specific ions or molecules to pass to the other side of the membrane.

The product of DNA replication is ___________, the product of transcription is _______ and the product of translation is

qwelly [4]

Answer: The product of DNA replication is DNA_, the product of transcription is RNA and the product of translation is PROTEIN

Explanation: The central dogma of molecular biology says that DNA serve as a template for its own replication by DNA polymerase, then through transcripcion process, a DNA template is read by RNA polymerase to synthetize RNA and that RNA serve as a template to synthetize proteins by ribosomes in translation process.
