<h2>The given statement is true</h2>
Explanation:
The recent finding of the fossils which showed that <em>Homo erectus</em> and <em>Homo habilis</em> lived side by side in eastern Africa for perhaps half a million years challenged the conventional way that these two species evolved one after the other(<em>H.habilis</em> 1.44 million years old and <em>H.erectus </em>1.55 million years old)
- The fossils were found in Kenya and took years to prepare the specimens for study and to be sure of the identification of the species, the scientists said
- University of Utah geologists determined the dates of the fossils from volcanic ash deposits
- The most recent <em>Homo habilis</em> that had been known was about the same age as the earliest <em>Homo erectus</em><em>,</em> said Daniel Lieberman, a professor of biological anthropology at Harvard University, “Now we have extended the duration of the habilis species, and there’s no doubt that it overlaps considerably with erectus”
- The fact that the two hominid species lived together in the same lake basin for so long and remained separate species, Meave Leakey said in a statement from Nairobi, “suggests that they had their own ecological niche, thus avoiding direct competition”
Answer:
The bones are homologous structures
Explanation:
Homologous structures are the structure which are found similar in appearance in different organisms.
The homologous structures in different organism shows that they shared a common ancestor or they diverged from a common ancestor during course of evolution that is these homologous structures are the result of the divergent evolution.
In the given question, the bat, dolphin and the cat shows the same structure of bone which indicates that they have evolved from a common ancestor and is true as they all belong to mammals.
Thus, the bones are homologous structures is correct.
Many fruits contain specialized structures that are adaptations for The answer is D. aiding in seed dispersal.
Maple trees have fruits with "Wings" that help the gale disperse the seeds. Some flowering plants grow fleshy fruit that benefits disperse their seeds. When animals eat the fruit, the seeds pass through an animal's digestive tract undamaged.
Answer: The vascular plants are set apart in two main ways: Vascular plants have vascular tissues, which circulate resources through the plant. This feature allows vascular plants to grow to a larger size than non-vascular plants, which lack these specialized conducting tissues and are therefore restricted to relatively small sizes.
Answer:
The correct answer is - A. codominance.
Explanation:
Codominance is an inheritance pattern that develops if there are two alleles of a particular gene in an organism and both are expressed together. It is not common as normally dominant allele masks the effect of recessive allele but here both traits occur.
Codominance is different from incomplete dominance as incomplete dominance expresses the dominant allele more than the recessive allele and expresses a mix of both.
