<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The biologists clarify these similarities as a homologous pair. This is based on the principle of convergent evolution.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Convergent evolution</em> is understood by the phenomenon of development of similar organs in different species in different period. Those<em> homologous pair </em>have same structure but can have different function in the different <em>species of organism. </em>

The bone of human arms, wings of the bat and dolphin flippers contain many of same bones which have developed from the same embryo tissue but the function for each is <em>different in different species.</em>

jolli1 [7]

The correct answer is C. She added water that was hypotonic to the culture of organisms, and they ruptured.

Explanation:

In biology, a hypotonic solution is a substance with less concentration than the inner concentration in cells, this is the opposite of a hypertonic solution that has a higher concentration. Additionally, if cells are in hypotonic solution water or liquid will begin to get into them and this would make cells burst and finally explode and die due to the pressure in them.

This occurred in the case presented as it is likely the organisms collected from the ocean had a high concentration and therefore hen they were exposed to clean water in which concentration was lower, water entered into the cells and made them explode, which explains the only remains of them were bit and pieces.

Scientific study of the population cycles of the snowshoe hare and its predator, the lynx, has revealed that
ladessa [460]
This scientific study revealed that predation is the dominant factor affecting prey population on cycling. Population cycles is the feature where populations rise and fall over a predictable period of time. For example there are some species where population numbers have reasonably predictable patterns of change. From the study depicted in the question; when snowshoe hares are scarce, many lynx leave their home range in search of food. An increased predation of the hare due to high populations of lynx and other predators increases the decline in the hare population.

elixir [45]

Answer:Proteins have many different functions, while DNA has limited functions.

Explanation:

Chemicals that make up the living organisms consists of more protein than DNA. This is because proteins have different functions while the function of DNA are limited. Excluding water and fat, the human body is made up almost entirely of protein. Most of the structural framework of the body such as bones, muscle, organs, skin and nails are made up of protein.

Protein are responsible to do most of the work in cells by acting as enzymes, hormones and carriers. Proteins are largely required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs.
