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.

What are the levels of organization in biotic factors?
Nuetrik [128]

Nivel subatómico: lo integran las partículas más pequeñas de la materia, como son los protones, los neutrones y los electrones.

Nivel atómico: lo componen los átomos, que son la parte más pequeña de un elemento químico que puede intervenir en una reacción.

Nivel molecular: está formado por las moléculas, que se definen como unidades materiales formadas por la unión, mediante enlaces químicos, de dos o más átomos, como por ejemplo una molécula de oxígeno (O2) o de carbonato cálcico (CaCO3).

The half — life of nickel is 96 years. How much of a 30-gram sample is left after 270 years?
-Dominant- [34]

The amount of the 30 gram-sample that will remain after 270 years is 6.61 grams

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives </h3>

We'll begin by obtaining the number of half lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

  • Half-life (t½) = 96 years
  • Time (t) = 270 years
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 270 / 99

n = 2.8125

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 30 grams
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 2.8125
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

The amount remaing can be obtained as follow:

N = N₀ / 2^n

N = 30 / 2^2.8125

N = 6.61 grams

Which is an example of an insertion mutation that changes all of the amino acids that follow the mutation?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:


2) CAG - TTC - ACG mutates to CAG - TTC - ACC - ACG

Explanation:

Insertions are mutations in which extra base pairs are inserted into a new place in the DNA. The number of base pairs inserted can range from one to thousands!

In option no. 1: We see that there is not addition of a single or more than one base, but the new base sequence is different from the original sequence at three places i.e: TTA - CAC - G

In option no. 2: The insertion of three bases ACC has been made exactly after TTC, the whole sequence and arrangement of bases remain same except this insertion.


In option no. 3: The first base of the sequence T is replaced with A, and all other sequence is same. This type of mutation is called substitution in which one base is replaced by other.


In option no. 4: The last base of the sequence C is deleted, and is not present in new sequence. This type of mutation is called deletion in which a base is removed from the sequence.


Conclusion: Therefore, the best option is 2, in which whole codon is inserted in the DNA base sequence.
