Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

A gene or genetic mutation is a permanent alteration in the sequence of DNA that makes up a gene. It can affect individuals in two ways in body cells by gametic cells that may transfer to offspring and somatic cells are only affect the individual but not passes on to offspring.

Somatic or body cell mutations occur during a person's lifetime and are occur only in certain cells in the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Match the type of of evidence for evolution with the correct example. analogous structures vestigial structures homologous struc
gogolik [260]

• Homologous structures: Both Ostriches have wings similar in form to those of their ancestors, but that do not allow the birds to fly.

Homologous structures are those that have structural similarities but are different in function. For example, if we look at the anatomical structure of a bird’s wing, it is very similar in structure with a human arm. However, over the course of time they have evolved to perform different functions.

• Vestigial structures: The inner ear bones of mammals have evolved from bones that form the jaws of reptiles.  

Vestigiality refers to the process in which some structure lose their function over the course of evolution in some specie but they are functionally normal in other species.  Such a structure is the inner ear bones of mammals which donot perform an important function in mammals but do perform in reptiles.

• DNA sequence data: Both Genes involved in RNA replication are conserved among bacteria and animals, suggesting a common evolutionary origin.

The sequencing of genetic data is an excellent method of finding the evolutionary histories and relatedness of different organisms. This field of sciences is called phylogenetics and the mentioned example is the result of phylogenetics.

• Analogous structures: The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates arose independently, indicating a different evolutionary origin.  

Analogous structures are those that have similar function but they look very different in structure or anatomy. This is because they have been evolved from different ancestors and perform different functions. One example of these structures is mentioned, The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates that look different bur perform same function.

What are the only cells that undergo meiosis
lord [1]

Answer:

Sex cells are the only cells that undergo meiosis.

Explanation:

Sperm cells in male and egg cells in female are the sex cells because these cells are responsible for the formation of new organism. When the sperm sex cell fuse with egg sex cell forming zygote which turns into a new organism. Mitosis occurs in somatic cells while meiosis occurs only in sex cells.
