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]4 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.

describe the relationship between the functions of endosymbiotic organelles and their free-living ancestral counterparts
Trava [24]

All organisms arose from a single common ancestor.

An endosymbiont or endobiont is any organism that lives inside the frame or cells of some other organism most often, though no longer continually, in a mutualistic relationship.

Bacterial endosymbionts result in dramatic phenotypes in their arthropod hosts, including cytoplasmic incompatibility, feminization, parthenogenesis, male killing, parasitoid protection, and pathogen blocking.

Endosymbionts, such as Wolbachia, Rickettsia, and Cardinium, are a type of bacteria generally located in arthropod species inclusive of bugs, spiders, crustaceans, and mites, in addition to other invertebrates along with filarial nematodesEndosymbiosis is a form of symbiosis in which the symbiont lives in the body of its host and the symbiont in an endosymbiosis is known as an endosymbiont.

Explain how it is possible to have thousands of different protiens when there are only 20
solmaris [256]
This is possible because proteins are created from different combinations of amino-acids. While we only have 20 different kinds of aminoacids, these 20 kinds can create thousands of combinations that we can observe in our bodies and bodies of other mammals as well as other organisms.
