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!

5. Species with limited resources usually exhibit a(n) ________ growth curve
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Species with limited resources usually exhibit a <em>logistic</em><em>  </em>growth curve

Explanation:

In ecology, logistic growth refers to the phenomenon where the growth rate of a population decreases as the population reaches its carrying capacity (the number individuals that an environment can support without facing degradation). To put it simply, when a certain species has limited resources available to them, as they reach their carrying capacity, the population of that species will decrease due to death caused by lack of resources for consumption. The attachment shows what logistic growth looks like when plotted on a graph.

Which Mechanism of microevolution caused the the beak of the medium gound finch population on dafne major to increase in size in
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Natural selection

Explanation:

Microevolution refers to changes produced at a lower level than species. In genetics, microevolution is the change in the allelic frequency perceptible in a few generations. Most of these naturally produced changes by mutation, natural selection, genetic flux, genetic drift.

After the drought on Daphne Major, many of the plants producing small-sized seeds decreased their reproductive rate drastically. Consequently, there were almost no seeds available for the medium ground finch to feed. The population of this species also decreased to only a hundred birds over two years. Weather conditions and food availability influenced the survival of the animals.

With time, the finched population increased again, but now, the average size of the beaks was larger. The trait modification was related to the availability of only larger seeds with thick husks.

Eating large seeds with medium or small-sized beaks was impossible, so Finches needed to adapt, developing larger beaks to crack open the husks and eat the contents of the seeds.

<u>Natural selection was responsible for the rapid change in the finches´ population beaks size after the drought. </u>The evolutive force modifies the allelic frequencies, increasing the frequency of genetic variants that expressed the larger beak size and declining the frequency of the alleles that expressed smaller beak size.
