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.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The lytic cycle involves the reproduction of viruses using a host cell to manufacture more viruses; the viruses then burst out of the cell. The lysogenic cycle involves the incorporation of the viral genome into the host cell genome, infecting it from within.

¿Cómo se le llama a los que pudieron dar origen a los seres vivos actuales?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Una de las características de los seres vivos se encuentra en su composición biológica, dado que todos ellos están constituidos por cuatro bioelementos esenciales que se encuentran de manera abundante en la naturaleza:

Carbono

Hidrógeno

Oxígeno

Nitrógeno

Estos bioelementos o elementos biogénicos están presentes en las biomoléculas, que son las que dan forma a la materia que constituye a los seres vivos. Estas moléculas están formadas, a su vez, por la unión de átomos.

De estos bioelementos, es importante destacar el papel del hidrógeno y el oxígeno, que dan lugar a la molécula del agua. El agua, o H2O, juega un papel fundamental en el funcionamiento de los seres vivos.

BRAINLIEST GOES TO FIRST ANSWER!! Explain why or why not in approximately 100 words. Should scientists who identify genes and cr
svlad2 [7]

Scientists should not have the ability to patent their own research methods as this prevents additionally scientific knowledge to be present within the experimental sciences. The last step of the scientific method is to communicate and share your own findings, and without the ability to do so, it prevents constructive criticisms of the method as well as improvements that would otherwise be prevented from patenting. In the field of genetic engineering specifically, the Human Genome project or (HGP) was an international scientific investigation that promoted communication between scientists rather than the restriction of scientific knowledge. The results of this international collaboration led to multitudes of information being presented regarding human genetic makeup. Therefore, patents ultimately prevent the progression of the sciences and scientific knowledge.  


I dont know if there are typos but hopefully this helps.
