Answer:

D. analogous.

Explanation:

Analogous organs can be defined as organs, which show similar functions, but do not having common origins. Organisms that possess analogous organs do not share common ancestor as their organs are derived from different origins.

Examples of analogous organs include wings of bats, birds, and birds which are evolved independently, but share common function (flying).

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

1. How would this method or replication reduce errors (mutations) in newly constructed DNA?

It would better your city. The city would look way nicer and a lot of people would probably enjoy a recycling program. For the reasons of having reused items so the dump won't be as bad and it would give more jobs and be a healthy way of discarding old paper and bottles. It could easily help out your city. The recycling program would be a great idea and I hope it could happen.  


I hope this is what you wanted.....

In ocean waves, water particles move ________ and energy moves ________. A) vertically; in circles B) in circles; horizontally C
son4ous [18]
In ocean waves, water particles move in circles and energy moves horizontally. Ocean waves are orbital progressive waves. The water molecules that make up the wave move in circles, or orbits, as the wave progresses. The ocean orbital waves get their start when wind blows on the open ocean, A gentle wind doesn't have much of an effect, but the stronger wind becomes the more it pushes against the water. It transfers energy to the water as it makes peaks and whitecaps in the water's surface.

How does mutation relate to variation
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Mutation is the source for new genetic variation: Genetic variation is brought about by random mutation. Without mutation, genetic variation cannot occur. Mutation is a change in the genetic code in DNA and can lead to a change in the protein that is coded for that segment of DNA.

Explanation:

Mutations are changes to an organism's DNA and are an important driver of diversity in populations. Species evolve because of the accumulation of mutations that occur over time. ... This mutation has introduce a new allele into the population that increases genetic variation and may be passed on to the next generation.

If an organism has a high biological fitness in one environment ,does that mean that it would also have high biological fitness
dsp73

The answer is NO. This is because different environments require different adaptations. A desirable trait in one environment may be inconsequential or detrimental in another environment. This is the reason also why evolution is continuous as natural selection acts on traits of a population to ensure desirable traits are retained with changes in the environment in a dynamic world.
