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.
I'd say the answer is C Increase in plant and animal diversity.
Because grasslands are usually too dry for certain plants and animals to live there, but with more precipitation more organisms would live there.
Answer:
The endosymbiotic theory
Explanation:
Protists are the multicellular organisms which possess characteristics of both the prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
The protist can derive nutrition by either heterotrophic mode or photoautotrophic mode. This variation could exist within the same genus and same species.
This variation could be explained with the endosymbiotic origin of the organisms as some species could engulf the photosynthetic bacteria whereas some could have engulfed the chemosynthetic bacteria.
This can be observed in the green and red algae which depend on a different mode of nutrition belonging to the same group.
Thus, the endosymbiotic theory is correct.
