The question is incomplete. The complete question is as following:

In humans, the pelvis and the femur, or thighbone, are involved in walking. In whales, the pelvis and femur shown in this figure represent...

Answer:

vestigial structures

Explanation:

A "vestigial structure" or "vestigial organ" are defined as the organs that no longer have any function in the organisms' body but had an important role in past.

<em>Pelvis and femur are thigh bones in humans which helps them in walking but in whale's pelvis and femur are considered as vestigial structures. </em>

The pelvis and femur in whales, are the inherited structure from ancestors and shows evidence for evolution on the basis of natural selection.

Hence, the correct answer is vestigial structures.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The high transmittance (low absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs very little green light.

The low transmittance (high absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs most blue light

Explanation:

  • The galvanometer is a device which is used for measuring the electric current.
  • In a spectrophotometer the galvanometer is attached to indicated the amount of light that is getting transmitted through a sample.
  • If the amount of light that is getting transmitted from the sample is more, the reading of the galvanometer would be higher and if less light is transmitted the reading of the galvanometer would be less.
  • Further, the transmittance of a light is inversely proportional to the absorption, that is if the absorption would be low transmittance would be high and vice versa.
  • Therefore, when the chlorophyll is exposed to green light, the transmittance is high and this implies that the absorption of green light would be less.
  • Similarly, when the chlorophyll is exposed to blue light, a low transmittance indicates a higher absorption of blue light by chlorophyll.

If you were looking at epithelial tissue in an are of the body where exchange of gases takes place, would you expect to see simp
raketka [301]
<span>An example of an epithelial tissue where gases are exchanged is alveolar epithelium, which can be found in the lungs. This tissue is simple epithelial tissue. This is to be expected because the cell layer needs to be thin enough for the gasses like carbon dioxide and oxygen to diffuse or pass through. Stratified epithelial tissue contains several cell layers that would impair the exchange of gasses.</span>

What is the importance of crossing-over?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

b.It increases the likelihood that daughter cells contain different genetic material.

Explanation:

Morgan and Cattell for the first time used the term ‘crossing over’.  Crossing over takes place during prophase I of meiosis. During crossing over, chromosome segments of non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes get exchanged. As a result, the daughter cells acquire different genetic materials. Thus, it provides genetic variation by creating a new combination of genes or get recombination and produces hybrids.
