4 0

Answer:

Analogous structures

Explanation:

These structures are similar but not derived from the common ancestor like homologous structures. Analogous structures are formed as a result of convergent evolution-type of evolution in which organisms develop on similar way but independently. An example of analogous structures are wings. Birds, insects and bats all have wings, with the same purpose (flight) but they evolved in their own way.

Which of the following normally occurs during mitosis?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

b. Replicated chromosomes line up on the equatorial plate.

Explanation:

Mitosis starts with the breakdown of the nuclear envelop and condensation of chromatids into visible chromosomes. Since DNA replication has occurred during the S-phase of interphase, each chromosome has two sister chromatids held together by a centromere. A chromosome with two sister chromatids is said to be a replicated chromosome.

Metaphase of mitosis includes the alignment of replicated chromosomes at the cell's equator. The process is assisted by the spindle apparatus. This is followed by splitting of centromere and separation of sister chromatids during anaphase.

Why is it necessary to do a spinal tap when you suspect a bacterial infection of the central nervous system? why can’t you use a
torisob [31]
Quite simple really.... The CNS actually doesn't receive as much nutrients or key components from the blood... The blood actually dumps it into the Cerebrospinal fluid. The Cerebrospinal fluid therefore is directly in contact with the brain and if you want to find an infection you take from a source as close to thing as you can.
