Answer:
Scientists must collect accurate information that allows them to make evolutionary connections among organisms. Similar to detective work, scientists must use evidence to uncover the facts. In the case of phylogeny, evolutionary investigations focus on two types of evidence: morphologic (form and function) and genetic. In general, organisms that share similar physical features and genomes tend to be more closely related than those that do not. Such features that overlap both morphologically (in form) and genetically are referred to as homologous structures; they stem from developmental similarities that are based on evolution. For example, the bones in the wings of bats and birds have homologous structures (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Bat and bird wings are homologous structures, indicating that bats and birds share a common evolutionary past. (credit a: modification of work by Steve Hillebrand, USFWS; credit b: modification of work by U.S. DOI BLM)
Notice it is not simply a single bone, but rather a grouping of several bones arranged in a similar way. The more complex the feature, the more likely any kind of overlap is due to a common evolutionary past. Imagine two people from different countries both inventing a car with all the same parts and in exactly the same arrangement without any previous or shared knowledge. That outcome would be highly improbable. However, if two people both invented a hammer, we can reasonably conclude that both could have the original idea without the help of the other. The same relationship between complexity and shared evolutionary history is true for homologous structures in organisms.
Answer:
Britain and Russia, both wanted to enter the middle east. They both wanted to cash on the resources Iran had. To sort out a middle ground, similar concessions were granted to both the parties so that there would be no issues.

group of cells make tissues, group of tissue make organs and group of organs make organs system......
The correct answer is option A
The burning of fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide in the environment. Carbon dioxide is the main green house gas. The green house gases work by trapping the heat that comes inside the earth from the sun.
The carbon dioxide is the green house gas that traps maximum heat coming from the sun. If the carbon dioxide would not have been there then the temperature of the earth would have been very low and the atmosphere would have been colder.
But the global temperature is rising due to lost of carbon dioxide present in the environment as the burning of fossil fuels is increasing day by day.
