<u>Answer:</u>
Recent evidence suggest that feathers evolved from scales and suggest that 'feathers and pycnofibers' could be homologous.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- One of the major difficult issue related to bird evolution is the evolution of feathers.
- Feathers are considered as the most 'complex integumentary structures' which are found in vertebrates.
- Evolutionary developmental biology suggests that the 'planar scale structure' is been modified for developing into feathers by 'splitting' to form web like structures.
- Scales and Feathers consist of 'two distinct form of keratin' so it was thought that 'each type was exclusive skin structure' but recent study suggests that they are developmental expressions of same skin structures.
Answer:
a. the coordinated control of gene expression in bacteria
Explanation:
An operon in bacteria is a collection/cluster of genes that are under the control of a single promoter. It includes 3 components: a promoter, the genes and an operator. The operator is where a repressor binds, and the promoter is where transcription begins.
Operons allow organisms to control the expression of multiple genes in response to environmental cues
Answer:
Closed the first one
Explanation:
In amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, blood flow is directed in two circuits: one through the lungs and back to the heart, which is called pulmonary circulation, and the other throughout the rest of the body and its organs including the brain (systemic circulation).
most mammals, have closed cardiovascular systems. The two main circulation pathways in invertebrates are the single and double circulation pathways.
