Answer: The term that best describes the relationship of the bones in the forelimbs of penguins and seals is HOMOLOGOUS and the term that best describes the flippers of penguins and seals is ANALOGOUS. Therefore the correct option is 4.

Explanation:

Charles Darwin proposed his first idea on natural selection using mostly evidence based on anatomical features of the organism. These anatomical similarities are classified into:

- Analogous structures and

- Homologous structures.

ANALOGOUS structures: These indicates that anatomical structures being observed are similar and perform the same function but their is no common ancestry between the two organisms( that is, the two organisms are unrelated species even though they have undergone several changes and adaptation to become more similar).A typical example is the flipper of penguins and seals. The both organism use their flippers for locomotion in water but penguins have common ancestry with birds while seal is with mammals. However, both live in similar environment where flippers is uses for swimming.

HOMOLOGOUS structures: These are anatomical structures from different organism which are similar due to recent common ancestry between organism. Example is the bones in the forelimbs of penguins and seals.

Answer:

2

Explanation:

The bones in the forelimbs of penguins and seals are best described as analogous, while the flippers of penguins and seals are homologous.

Analogous structures are structures that are similar in different organisms, even though they are unrelated to each other. For instance, the wings of birds and the fins of a penguin or a fish.

Homologous structures are similar structures in related organisms. Both the penguins and the seals have flippers. Another example is the human arm and the wings of a bat. Both have similar structures internally, but while a human lifts items with their hands, the birds use theirs for flying.

Can a human make amino acids or does he or she have to always get amino acids from eating food?
meriva
Humans get amino acids from protiens in the food we eat. As we digest the food, the enzymes in our stomach and small intestines break down proteins into small amino acids. So technically, we do not make amino acids, we get amino acids from eating food high in protiens.

Analyze how a point mutation can affect the overall protein shape and function, using hemoglobin as an example.
aniked [119]

Answer:

A point mutation can be described as a mutation in which changes occur in a single nucleotide. A nucleotide may get changed, deleted or inserted from the sequence of DNA. Point mutations can be harmless or harmful depending on the nucleotide in which the changes occur.

A change in just one nucleotide can result in the formation of wrong amino acid and hence changed or wrong proteins can be formed. If the original protein was involved in cellular reproduction, then the entire process of reproduction can be affected by a point mutation.

Sickle- cell anaemia is a disease in which the body fails to produce enough healthy red blood cells. This disease occurs due to point mutation. Point mutation occurs where glutamine (GAG) of the β-globin gets changed into valine (GUG). This change causes the haemoglobin to get a deformed structure due to which it is not able to carry out oxygen.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Chemical engineering

Explanation: I am not really that good at science but my opinion is that it is chemical engineering because the process of the rock breaking down with the listed factors of water, carbon dioxide etc. If you are not sure you can also look of the definition for each of the engineering factors...
