Answer:

A) bat wing and human hand

Explanation:

Homology in biology  is existence of the shared ancestry between the pair of structures or the genes present in the different taxa.

<u>The most common example of the homologous structures is forelimbs of the vertebrates, where wings of the bats, arms of the primates, front flippers of the whales and forelegs of the dogs and the horses are all derived from same ancestral tetrapod structure. </u>

Homologous structures can be explained by evolutionary biology which states that these are adapted to the different purposes as  result of the descent with the modification from common ancestor.

Which component of the electrocardiogram represents the duration of ventricular contraction?
Advocard [28]

QRS complex refers to the combination of the Q, R, and S waves, and indicates ventricular depolarization and contraction (ventricular systole).

Ventricular rate can be calculated by determining the time interval between QRS complexes. The duration of the QRS complex is normally 0.06 to 0.10 seconds. This relatively short duration indicates that ventricular depolarization normally occurs very rapidly.

P QRS and T waves in electrocardiogram signifies the P wave in an ECG complex indicates atrial depolarization. The QRS is responsible for ventricular depolarization and the T wave is ventricular repolarization.

fossils in _____ layers of rock are generally estimated to be _____then fossils found in the deeper layers A. older,younger B. n
Liula [17]
Your answer is (B.)
Fossils in newer layers if rock are generally estimated to be younger than fossils found in the deeper layers because it is closest to the surface. The soil and earth didn't have enough time to "bury" the remains of the dead animal ( Bury is used for a simpler term) underground. The farther down a fossil is the more likely it is older unless the animal tends to burrow. Seeing as the question is probably talking of older animals that is unlikely for an animal to burrow that far. So your answer is B.

Answer:

Complementary base pairing is the phenomenon where in DNA guanine always hydrogen bonds to cytosine and adenine always binds to thymine. The bond between guanine and cytosine shares three hydrogen bonds compared to the A-T bond which always shares two hydrogen bonds.

Non-native species like kudzu, zebra mussels, and nutria experience _____ outside their native area due to a lack of natural pre
maria [59]

Answer:

exponential growth

Explanation:

The organisms that are not native of a particular environment but are exposed to live in that particular environment are invasive species. Usually invasive species do not prove useful to the new area and prove harmful to the environment as well. There are some species of organisms that have been accidently introduced to new environment and have been accidently proven to be beneficial. Zebra mussels, being the native to Black Sea when arrived to North America flourished there.
