Structures that are similar in different species show common ancestry

Biology
1 answer:
nignag [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

he term “homologous structures” refers specifically to similar structures found in different species that have a common ancestry or developmental origin. Note that homologous structures don’t have to perform the same function in a species, the only requirement is that they are similar in form and exist in species with common ancestry.

What are carbon dioxide in cellular respiration reaction. NEED HELP ASAP!!!
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Microorganisms such as cyanobacteria can trap the energy in sunlight through the process of photosynthesis and store it in the chemical bonds of carbohydrate molecules. The principal carbohydrate formed in photosynthesis is glucose. Other types of microorganisms such as nonphotosynthetic bacteria, fungi, and protozoa are unable to perform this process. Therefore, these organisms must rely upon preformed carbohydrates in the environment to obtain the energy necessary for their metabolic processes.

Cellular respiration is the process by which microorganisms obtain the energy available in carbohydrates. They take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic processes, they break down the carbohydrate and release the energy. The energy is generally not needed immediately, so it is used to combine ADP with phosphate ions to form ATP molecules. During the process of cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is given off as a waste product. This carbon dioxide can be used by photosynthesizing cells to form new carbohydrates. Also in the process of cellular respiration, oxygen gas is required to serve as an acceptor of electrons. This oxygen gas is identical to the oxygen gas given off in photosynthesis.

What is the effect on a plate when a slab sinks
mestny [16]
The slab sinks faster and this pulls on the rest of the plate, continuing plate tectonics. Mantle convection creates the instability that allows plate tectonics to get going and helps a little, but it's not thought to be the main driving force

Assume that long fingers are inherited as a recessive trait with 80% penetrance. Two people heterozygous for long fingers mate.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The answer is 60%.

Explanation:

Let's take the capıital letter L for the dominant long finger gene, and l for the recessive long finger gene.

The two heterozygous people with long fingers mate which means their genotypes are Ll or lL.

The probability of their first child having a heterozygous genotype is 50%. The probability of having dominant homozygous genotype LL is 25% and the probability of having recessive homozygous genotype ll is also 25%.

It is stated that the long finger trait is a recessive trait with 80% penetrance which means that even if the genotype suggests that the trait will be observable, it is only 80% of the time.

There is a 75% chance that their first child will inherit the recessive long finger trait gene l and with an 80% penetrance, the probability of the child having long fingers is 60%.

I hope this answer helps.
