A bat wing, an alligator leg, and a human arm are homologous structures. Which fact about those structures best supports one asp

Answer:

The correct answer is descent from a common ancestor.

Explanation:

Homologous structures are the structure which is similar in appearance but perform different functions in a different organism.

The wing of a bat, leg of an alligator and arm of a human, they all look similar in appearance with same type and number of bones but they all perform different functions in them.

The same type and number of bones show that they all have come from the same structure of the last common ancestor or their ancestor was common. This type of evolution is called divergence evolution and provides a piece of evidence to the theory of evolution given by Charles Darwin that "all species arises from same ancient common ancestor also called descent from a common ancestor". This proves that the evolutionary history of life forms a branching tree.

Thus, descent from a common ancestor is the correct answer.

Although a bat's wing, an alligator's leg and a human arm function differently, they all have similar structures in common. All have five digits and most likely the same number of bones within them.

This signifies that they all had similar origins in evolution.

Hope that helps!

Suppose a geneticist isolates two bacteriophage mutants. One mutation causes clear plaques (c), and the other produces minute pl
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The mentioned parental types are c+m- and c-m+. Thus, the recombinants will be c+m+ and c-m-.  

Now, the given distance between c and m is 8 map units. Thus, the recombinant frequency is 8% or 0.08.  

The total recombinants from 1000 plaques will come out to be 80,  

Thus, the recombinants of each type will be 40.  

Total parental type will be 920, and therefore, each parental type count will be 460.  

Thus, expected c+m- = 460, expected c-m+ = 460, expected c+m+ = 40 and expected c-m- = 40.

The population change equation is Population Change = (Natality - Mortality) + (Immigration - Emigration). Which equation would
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

B. natality + immigration = mortality + emigration

Explanation:

Migration refers to the movement of a group of people from one geographical region (location) to another geographical destination in search of better living conditions, work or social amenities.

Migration selectivity can be defined as the likelihood or tendency that a subset (part) of a group of people are going to move (migrate) out of a particular geographical location or area.

Some of the factors that influence migration selectivity are income level, age, education, gender etc.

Population change equation states that the change in the size of a population over a specific period of time is equal to the sum of the number of births and the number of immigrants that joined.

Mathematically, the population change equation is given by the formula;

Population Change = (Natality - Mortality) + (Immigration - Emigration)

Therefore, the equation which would create a stable population is given by the formula;

Natality + immigration = mortality + emigration.

Which statement about positive feedback regulation is accurate?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Answer is B. Positive feedback regulation can generate an abrupt, all-or-none response in which the cell moves from ignoring a signal to responding to it very strongly.

Explanation:

Positive feedback can be described as an example of feedback, which is a natural mechanism that amplifies the action of a system.

It can be better be explained further, as a situation whereby the blood pressure decreases and the response of the body also makes or causes the blood pressure to decrease the more.

Other examples of a positive feedback also include blood clotting, ripening of fruits , uterus muscle contraction, resulting to the stretching of the uterus during pregnancy.

What is the open area where an enzyme attaches called?
arsen [322]

Answer:

The open area where the substrate is attached to an enzyme is called the active site.

Explanation:

The active site of an enzyme corresponds to the place where the tertiary structure of this molecule leaves a free space to couple the substrate and be able to catalyze a chemical reaction.

Since the enzyme-substrate complex functions as a <u>key lock system</u>, the active site has a three-dimensional configuration that only admits certain molecules as substrate, which determines its specificity.
