Define homologous structures and explain how these structures support evidence of common ancestry
Andrews [41]
<span>Homologous structures are framework where the parts of the body is similar in structure to different species of common ancestry. The way structures develop in embryos and the pattern in which they appeared over evolutionary history. In addition, the evidence of this common ancestry can be seen in the structure and development of these homologous structures, even if the existence of these structures adapted to different function as the result from a collective ancestry. </span>

what do biologists study changes in amino acid sequence when trying to determine causes of genetic variation?
baherus [9]

Answer:

reason for studying human genetics is that it gives us a powerful tool for understanding and describing human evolution. At one time, data from physical anthropology (including information about skin color, body build, and facial traits) were the only source of information available to scholars interested in tracing human evolutionary history. Today, however, researchers have a wealth of genetic data, including molecular data, to call upon in their work.

red blood cells are placed in water that has been distilled so there are no solutes dissolved in the water. Are the red blood ce
makvit [3.9K]
Red blood cells will swell and burst. The reason behind this is that red blood cells are okay when they are in the plasma (the watery part of the blood) because the solutes in plasma are so  well balanced that plasma is rendered isotonic. An isotonic solution is a type of solution that has the same salt concentration as its surrounding environment and thus the substances around it e.g. cells neither gain nor lose water. In the blood plasma, the red blood cells neither lose nor gain water  and so they remain intact.<span>However distilled water is hypotonic (has less or no solutes) and therefore osmosis will take place when red blood cell which have a higher solute concentration are placed in it. Water molecules will leave the distilled water and pass into the red blood cells through the semi-permeable membrane of the cells in an attempt to equalize the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the membrane. In so doing, water will accumulate in the cell which will then swell to capacity and ultimately burst.</span>
