Answer:

The phenomenon is called convergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is the name given to the evolutionary phenomenon whereby a similar characteristic appears independently in two unrelated species, that is, that do not have a direct common ancestor from whom they could inherit that characteristic. Similar characteristics resulting from evolutionary convergence are called analogues or homoplasms (from the Greek, “shaped in the same way”). This process is very common and can be explained by natural selection, since similar selective pressures tend to favor similar adaptations.

In a diploid organism, there are ___ number of copies of most genes. In a population, there may be many different gene sequences
sineoko [7]

Answer:

In a diploid organism there are two copies of most genes.

The versions of the genes are called alleles.

Explanation:

Hello!

The genetic servants of a population are all variants of each of the genes present. These variables are possible thanks to the mutations that occur in the formation of the zygote (before or after fertilization).

When part of the DNA of an organism undergoes a point mutation (on one or a few nitrogenous bases) the body activates a series of responses to reverse it, however sometimes the mutation is maintained and can give rise to a change in a protein.

Sometimes and under certain circumstances (the change should not cause death or significant disadvantages in the body that is born) the mutation is maintained in the population giving rise to different alleles of the same gene.

In an organism there are two copies of each gene (genotype) but only one of them (phenotype) is expressed.

The allele of the gene that is expressed may depend on various factors but the dominant allele is usually expressed.

Given a force of 56 n and an acceleration of 7 m\s2, what is the mass
nirvana33 [79]
<span>56 n/ 7 m/s^2 = 8kg

Example:
To solve this given word problem we can first identify the given and the apt formula to use in this phenomenon: Given: Force = 4, 500 N = 4, 500 kg-m/s^2 Acceleration = 5 m/s^2   </span>
<span>Formula: f=ma </span>
<span>Derivation: m = f/a </span>
<span>Solution: </span><span><span>
1.    </span>M = f/a</span> <span><span>
2.    </span>M = 4,500 kg-m/s^2 / 5 m/s^2</span> <span><span>
3.    </span>M = 900 kg  </span> 

<span>Hence, the object’s mass is </span>900 kg.<span>

Use the drop-down menus to label the organelles in the picture to the right label A
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Label A; Mitochondria.

Label B; Nucleus.

Label C; Golgi apparatus.

Label D; Rough endoplasmic reticulum

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • All the above are various organelles in a eukaryotic cells each carrying different cellular activity to enhance the functioning of a cell.

Label A; Mitochondria.

  • <u>Mitochondria</u> is the powerhouse of the cell which converts glucose to energy rich molecules of ATP, through the process of cellular respiration.

Label B; Nucleus.

  • <u>Nucleus</u> contains the genetic material or DNA, RNA , nucleolus, chromatin fibres and proteins. It contains the chromosomes which control the hereditary characteristics.It also regulates all the activities of the cell.

Label C; Golgi apparatus.

  • <u>Golgi apparatus;</u> they are also called Golgi bodies. They function in modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion. They are also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes.

Label D; Rough endoplasmic reticulum

  • <u>The rough endoplasmic reticulum</u> provides surface for protein synthesis. It is also used to transport cellular contents from one cell to another.
  • The risbosomes attached on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are resposible for the protein synthesis through the process of translation.
