Answer:

homologous

Explanation:

<em>Since the front legs of a cat and the arms of a human share a bone structure that suggests a common lineage, these structures are said to be homologous.</em>

Homologous organs are organs that share some similarities in different organisms but whose function differ in these organisms.

The organs are structurally similar but functionally different. Homologous organs represent one of the evidences scientists use to support evolution.

The front legs of cats and the arms of humans are functionally different, even though their structure is based on the same five digit plan.

What is genetic biodiversity?
Nady [450]

Answer:

So it would be the first one, The variation in biological factors affecting a species.

Explanation:

Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species, it ranges widely from the number of species to differences within species and can be attributed to the span of survival for a species.

All forms of life on earth, whether microbes, plants, animals, or human beings, contain genes. Genetic diversity is the sum of genetic information contained in the genes of individual plants, animals, and micro-organisms. Each species is the storehouse of an immense amount of genetic information in the form of traits, characteristics, etc. The number of genes ranges from about 1000 in bacteria to more than 400 000 in many flowering plants. Each species consists of many organisms and virtually no two members of the same species are genetically identical.

An important conservation consequence of this is that even if an endangered species is saved from extinction it has probably lost some of its internal diversity. Consequently, when populations expand again, they become more genetically uniform than their ancestors. There are mathematical formulas to express a genetically effective population size that explain the genetic effects on populations that have gone through a bottleneck before expanding again such as the African cheetah or the North American bison. Subsequent inbreeding in small populations may result in:

a) reduced fertility and

b) increased susceptibility to disease.

Genetic differentiation within species occurs as a result of sexual reproduction, in which genetic differences between individuals are combined in their offspring to produce new combinations of genes or from mutations causing changes in the DNA. Genetic diversity is usually mentioned with reference to agriculture and maintaining food security. This is because genetic erosion of several crops has already occurred leading to the world's dependence for food on just a few species. Currently, a mere 100-odd species account for 90% of the supply of food crops, and three crops – rice, maize, and wheat – account for 69% of the calories and 56% of the proteins that people derive from plants.

Brown spotting of the teeth in humans is caused by a dominant X-linked gene. If a man with normal teeth marries a woman with bro
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The female with brown teeth had a father with normal teeth. Since normal teeth is a recessive trait, the father would have been homozygous recessive for the trait and would have transmitted one recessive allele to the female. Therefore, the female is heterozygous dominant for brown teeth.

Let's assume that the allele for brown teeth is X^B while the one for normal teeth is X^b. The genotype of heterozygous dominant female would be X^BX^b and that of the male with normal teeth would be X^bY.

A cross between X^BX^b and X^bY gives progeny in following phenotype ratio= 1/4 daughter with brown teeth: 1/4 daughter with normal teeth: 1/4 son with brown teeth: 1/4 son with normal teeth. Therefore, the probability of having a daughter with brown teeth is = 25%

Summarize the four steps to natural selection
Anna11 [10]

Overproduction - An organism gives birth to too many children

Genetic Variation - The offspring each have genetic differences in appearance, behavior, etc

Struggle to Survive - Offspring must fight in order to gain essential resources (food, water, mates, etc)

Successful Reproduction - Organism produces offspring with beneficial adaptations that aid in survival
