Answer:

The bones are homologous structures

Explanation:

Homologous structures are the structure which are found similar in appearance in different organisms.

The homologous structures in different organism shows that they shared a common ancestor or they diverged from a common ancestor during course of evolution that is these homologous structures are the result of the divergent evolution.

In the given question, the bat, dolphin and the cat shows the same structure of bone which indicates that they have evolved from a common ancestor and is true as they all belong to mammals.

Thus, the bones are homologous structures is correct.

What would be the result of a mutation that deactivates the regulatory gene of a repressible operon in an escherichia coli cell?
leonid [27]

The correct answer is: B) continuous transcription of the structural gene controlled by that regulator

A regulatory gene is gene that encodes for a protein, such as a repressor (or activators) that controls the transcription of another gene or group of genes.

The regulatory gene of a repressible operon encodes for the repressor that inhibits gene transcription. So, when that repressor isn’t active, transcription occurs continuously.

Which is part of the theory of evolution by natural selection?
Katen [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: A. Only the best-adapted animals in a population survive.

Explanation:

  • Natural Selection is the process by which the individuals of a species which has the potential to sustain and survive in adverse or changing environment gets a survival advantage over those individuals which are unable to adapt themselves to altered environmental conditions.
  • As the less potent individuals die in altered environmental conditions the  adaptable individuals escapes competition with them for natural resources.
  • Evolution causes species to alter their characteristics depending upon the demand of the conditions. These changes can vary, can be less or drastic.
  • Animals pass all the newly adapted traits to the successive generations either as genetic traits or as acquired traits, as this is necessary for the offspring to survive in the altered environment.
  • Natural selection is best defined as "the survival of the fittest".

how are mitochondrial genes typically inherited? an individual randomly inherits their mitochondrial dna from either parent. an
dybincka [34]

An individual inherits their mitochondrial DNA from their mother.

The little circular chromosome contained inside mitochondria is called mitochondrial DNA. These organelles are the heart of the cell and are present in all eukaryotic cells. The only way for mitochondria and their DNA to be transmitted from mother to child is through the egg cell.

Mitochondrial inheritance: The mitochondria in this particular type of inheritance have their own DNA. Only illnesses resulting from mutations in the mitochondrial DNA are solely passed down through mothers.

Because sperm contain few mitochondria and these break down after fertilization, an individual's mitochondrial DNA is solely acquired from the mother.
