Answer:

1. Bats and cats: <em>Homology</em>

2. Whales and sharks: <em>Analogy</em>

Explanation:

In Biology, homology refers to <u>the similarity of features from different species of organisms that share a common ancestor</u>. This is the opposite of analogy, which refers to <u>a feature that has a similar function but is not derived from a common ancestor</u>.

In this case, bats and cats have forelimbs adapted for locomotion. This is a case of homologous characters because they both are descendants of tetrapods - four-limbed animals. Therefore, even though cats and bats look completely different, they both share a similar feature: forelimbs, a characteristic feature from their common early mammalian ancestors.

On the other hand, whales (mammals) and sharks (fish) do not share a common ancestor. So, the fins are analogous structures: both have a similar function because both have adapted to an aquatic environment but they have completely separate evolutionary origins.

What happened to the jewish people when they were living in Egypt?
quester [9]

According to Jewish tradition, the Israelites were in Egypt for 210 years (Rashi commentary, on Exodus ch.12). For the first century, they lived in peace and plenty, as long as Joseph and his brothers were still living. After that, they were enslaved by the Egyptians. The enslavement was gradual, in steps, eventually becoming harsh and crushing (Exodus ch.1). At the end of that time, God sent Moses (Exodus ch.3) to demand that Pharaoh free the Israelites; and He brought plagues upon Egypt (Exodus ch.7-12) when Pharaoh refused.  

As a related topic, a brief biography of Moses may be pertinent here:

Moses was born 245 years after the death of Abraham. Pharaoh had decreed that Israelite boys be killed (Exodus ch.1), but the daughter of Pharaoh took pity on the infant Moses (Exodus ch.2) and raised him as her own son. He was forced to flee after killing a cruel Egyptian taskmaster, and went to Midian, where he wedded the daughter of Jethro. He eventually achieved the highest level of prophecy (Deuteronomy ch.34) and was called upon by God (Exodus ch.3).  

The importance of Moses cannot be overstated. He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery (Exodus ch.12). He received the Torah from God (Exodus 24:12) and later recorded it in writing (Deuteronomy 31:24). He went up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights (Deuteronomy ch.9-10) and brought down the Two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), and he oversaw the building of the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40). He was the humblest of men and the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12).

What were the main provisions of the fourteenth amendment
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution was adopted after the Civil War, July 9, 1868. The Fourteenth Amendment introduced the granting of citizenship to any person born in the United States, and a prohibition on the deprivation of rights other than by court order.

This amendment became one of the most democratic in the history of American constitutionalism, as it not only proclaimed the equality of all citizens regardless of skin color, but also provided for punishment of states for violation of these requirements by reducing the norm of representation in the US Congress.

The first paragraph of the amendment stated that all persons born in the United States or having received citizenship there and obeying the laws of the country are its citizens and citizens of the state where they live, and may be deprived of the right to life, liberty, and property only by court order, and not the passage of any restrictive laws. On the basis of the 14th amendment, the rights of the black population were also affirmed.

At the same time, the amendment prohibited the taking of public office by persons who had previously taken the oath of allegiance to the US Constitution and subsequently participated in an armed rebellion against the US government or who had “helped or supported” the enemies of the United States.
