Answer:

I put this:

Explanation:

Dear Sceptic,

Here are the four types of evidence:

Molecular Homologies

•Vestigial Structures

The Fossil Record

•Transitional Forms

Increasing Complexity

Geographic Distribution

Molecular Homologies are physical and functional similarities. Vestigial structures are traits that were inherited from an ancestor and then evolved to have no use over time.Like legless snakes.

The Fossil Record is what fossils show. Transitional Forms show the transition between ancient animals and Modern ones. like Archaeopteryx

between birds and dinos.

Increasing Complexity: ancient animals were less complex. Amphibians>Reptiles>Birds

Geographic Distribution Animals that were found in 2 continents like Glossopteris

The theory of evolution can be proved by the comparison of DNA genetic sequences of organisms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The evolution can be proved by following

  • Homologous organs - they are organs that have similar basic structure but perform different functions. example: Human, Bird.
  • Analogous organs-they are organs that perform same function but have different structure or basic design. example: Bird and insect.
  • Fossils- the remains of dead animals and plants.

Dead organisms get decomposed by microbes, due to the absence of oxygen and moisture some body parts does not decompose.

The soft parts of body gets decomposed hard parts take time to decompose  and get covered by sea, at these deep levels the decomposition stops and the hard parts remain preserved called fossils.

Answer:

anwser is C

Explanation:

they both have 6 carbon atoms so A is wrong

both are monosacchride so B is wrong

both have same molecular formula which is (C₆H₁₂O₆) so D is wrong

in glucose the anomeric carbon is the first carbon, whereas in fructose, the anomeric carbon is the second carbon. The anomeric carbon is the one containing the carbonyl group (carbonyl group is a functional group composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom: C=O)

What is meant by evolution through natural selection
VikaD [51]
Hello!

Natural selection is the way that animals evolve. 

The theory of natural selection is that the animals that do not have a specific trait to survive in their environment will die. The animals that do have the trait will survive. The animals that survive will then pass the trait down to their offspring, who will also likely survive because they have the trait. This is how species evolve and continue to survive in their environment. 

The species evolve because only the fittest survive (this is known as "survival of the fittest"). The animals that do not have the needed traits will die and they cannot have offspring. 

I hope this helps answer your question! Have a great day!
