4 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Recent evidence suggest that feathers evolved from scales and suggest that 'feathers and pycnofibers' could be homologous.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • One of the major difficult issue related to bird evolution is the evolution of feathers.
  • Feathers are considered as the most 'complex integumentary structures' which are found in vertebrates.
  • Evolutionary developmental biology suggests that the 'planar scale structure' is been modified for developing into feathers by 'splitting' to form web like structures.
  • Scales and Feathers consist of 'two distinct form of keratin' so it was thought that 'each type was exclusive skin structure' but recent study suggests that they are developmental expressions of same skin structures.

How will a organism be benefited if it reproduces through spores
exis [7]

Answer:

Spore can survive under unfavorable conditions as they are covered by a hard protective coat. Spores can grow to produce new plants and does not require sexual interaction with another organism. Due to their small size and light weight, they can be dispersed easily.

Spores can remain dormant till favourable conditions become available. b. Spores help an organism to tide over the bad phase. Spores can be spread through water, air or animals and thus is good for the spread of an organism to more places.
