Humans and apes have five fingers they can use to grasp objects. Do you think these are analogous or homologous structures

Biology
1 answer:
Ann [662]3 years ago
6 0
Human and apes have 5 fingers that are used for grasping objects, so they have the same function, but they also have a common ancestor and are closely related, that means that this is an example of homologous structures. In evolutionary biology, the term homologous structures means that there are organs and skeletal elements of animals and organisms, that by virtue of their similarity, suggest their connection to a common ancestor.

The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

It is expected to obtain 576 individuals with normal wings and body with normal hair, 192 with normal wings and hairy body, 192 with vestigial wings and body with normal hair, and 64 with vestigial wings and hairy body.

Explanation:

Since only the wild-type of the offspring cross each other and since the parents have antagonistic phenotypic characters for each gene, all the progeny produced in the F1 is heterozygous with VgvgHh genotype, where

Vg: Normal wings.

eg: Vestigial wings.

H: Body with normal hair.

h: Hairy body.

Once F1 reproduces with each other, the Mendelian proportions 9/16, 3/16, 3/16, 1/16 expected in the F2 generation are produced.

Since in total there were 1024 individuals in the offspring, this amount is multiplied by the expected proportions, giving rise to the mentioned result.

Secretors (genotypes ss and ss) secrete their a and b blood group antigens into their saliva and other body fluids, while nonsec
Solnce55 [7]
As you can see from the image presented below when parents with AB Ss and AA ss genotypes cross we get three distinct phenotype groups.
Marked in red are the individuals whose A type blood we can determine from the saliva because they have at least one S allele.
Marked in light green are the individuals whose AB type of blood we can determine from the saliva too.
And marked in orange are the individuals that are homozygous recessive for the s allele, and we could not determine their blood type from their saliva.

Summary of hearing: Vibrations cause the cochlea’s membrane to shake. This causes ripples in the ____________, bending the _____
mash [69]

Answer:

1) Basilar membrane

2) Stereocilia or hair cells

3) Nerve cells

4) Auditory

5) Temporal lobe

Explanation:

Basilar membrane: located inside of the cochlea which is located in the inner ear. This membrane separates two tubes that is filled with liquid which is also important for hearing.  

Hair cells: Connected to the basilar membrane and they acts as sensory receptors which can catch movements (ripples) in the basilar membrane and pass this message to the neurons.

Nerve cells: One of the main cell types in the brain, which are responsible for signal transfer.

Auditory cortex: This part of the brain is located in temporal lobe and handles the auditory information.
