Answer:

The animals present body structure is due to evolution. It is seen in each part including the structure of the heart. The vertebrate heart becomes complex from a simpler form.  

Invertebrates, the heart of fishes is two-chambered having one auricle and one ventricle. The deoxygenated blood gets purified in the gills. They are aquatic and no lungs for breathing. The hearts pump a mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to the body.  

The amphibians and reptiles have 3 chambered heart as they lead terrestrial mode of life. The gills modified into the lungs.  The left auricle receives pure blood and the right auricle receives deoxygenated blood. The blood purified in the lungs and in the ventricle, both types of blood get a mix. The ventricle pumps the mixed-blood throughout the body.

In the case of birds and mammal, the heart is 4 chambered and the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are separated. These two are higher vertebrates. No mix of pure and impure blood, the body receives only the oxygenated blood.

This shows to construct the phylogenetic tree of vertebrates - the fishes should be in the bottom, and above it amphibians, reptiles, then, mammals and birds on the top branch of the tree. As the chambers and structure of the hearts modified one after another.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Human evolution in the hominid family occurred faster than between Chimpanzees and gorillas. Neutral mutations may result in sequence divergence between organisms that are structurally similar (in this case, chimpanzees and gorillas)

Explanation:

Human and chimpanzee share higher sequence identity than predicted in the hominid family since observed mutations are necessarily associated with functional divergence

stellarik [79]

Answer:

25 years

Explanation:

Ossification is the process of bone tissue formation. Osteoblasts are responsible for the process of ossification. It begins when the fetus is three months old and goes on till 25 years of age. Upper limbs get ossified first, followed by lower limbs, sternum and vertebrae.

There are two types of ossification processes. When bone is directly developed using the primitive connective tissue (mesenchyme) it is called as  intramembranous ossification, while in endochondral ossification cartilage is used as a precursor.
