What are similar structures that evolved independently called?

Biology
1 answer:
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]3 years ago
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 term describes the difference in the concentrations of a substance across a cell's membrane?
SpyIntel [72]

Correct answer: C) Concentration gradient

The process of movement of a particle in a solution from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration across a membrane is called as concentration gradient.

For example: If we drop a few drop of dye in a glass of water, it will diffuse along a concentration gradient, i.e, the region where dye is found in highest concentration to the region where it is in lower concentration.

It will occur until the concentration of dye become uniform in all the direction in the glass of water.

A certain widely distributed mammalian species remained unchanged for about 30 million years. Most members of this species lived
sdas [7]
For the answer to the question above, p<span>unctuated equilibrium (also called punctuated equilibria) is a theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that most species will exhibit little net evolutionary change for most of their geological history, remaining in an extended state called stasis. When significant evolutionary change occurs, the theory proposes that it is generally restricted to rare and rapid (on a geologic time scale) events of branching speciation called cladogenesis. Cladogenesis is the process by which a species splits into two distinct species, rather than one species gradually transforming into another.</span>
