The tailbone is a homologous structure.

Homologous structures is a <span>bone (or organ, but in this case, bone) that shows up in different animals in different animals (mice and human). It shows evidence of evolution by highlighting different similarities in different organisms that show that they may have descended from a common ancestor. It may have a very similar form or function in the different animals. </span>

Answer

The tailbone is a homologous structure

Explanation

A homologous structure is an organ/bone which is present in different animals (like in humans and the mice) that has common anatomic characteristics which shows that the organisms had a common ancestor. In this case, the organ can relate in functionality or formation.

What alternate form of genes do nucleic acids have that allows them to offer variability allele codon nucleotide chromosome
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The options to this question are:

A) allele

B) codon

C) nucleotide

D) chromosome

The answer is A) allele

Explanation:

RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in living organisms used for transferring and storing genetic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living organisms that contains segment coding for useful products/proteins and transmits genetic information from one generation to another. These segments are called GENES.

However, genes contain an alternate form responsible for genetic variation in the traits coded for by them. These alternate or variant form of a gene is called ALLELE. In a diploid organism like human, each trait is encoded by genes which contain contrasting pair of alleles that allows variation for that particular trait i.e. two alleles for each gene. For example, height trait in humans are encoded by gene, which possess two alleles; one coding for short variety (t) and the other for tall variety (T).
