Answer:Flippered and charismatic, pinnipeds (which includes seals, sea lions, and walruses) are true personalities of the sea. Like whales, manatees, and sea otters, they are marine mammals, meaning millions of years ago their ancestors evolved from a life on land to a life at sea. Today, they remain creatures of both land and sea. Though able to walk on land, they are truly at home in the water. Strong flippers and tails propel them and a streamlined body helps them cut through the water efficiently.
It’s easy to tell the enormous, tusked walrus from other pinnipeds, but seals and sea lions are easy to confuse. The easiest way is to look at their ears—sea lions have small ear flaps while seal ears are nothing but small holes.
Explanation:
Organ. An organ is a system of tissues that work together on a larger scale to do certain jobs within an animal's body. Examples of organs are the brain, heart and lungs. Anatomy is an example of a biology specialty concerned with this level.
This statement giving a clue that there is asexually reproduction (may be binary fission) taking place and the progenies in asexual reproduction are genetically similar to parent cell. So answer is A.
Answer:
This definition suits that of "HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES"
Explanation:
Homologous chromosomes are similar pairs of chromosomes i.e. in length, gene positioning and centromere location (one from each parent) but not identical. Homologous chromosomes are not identical in the sense that, alleles on each pair may be different, resulting in genetic variation of the offspring.
Using humans as a case study, a karyotype (pictorial display of chromosomal arrangement) shows the complete set of chromosomes, which has two complete set (diploid). Each human cell contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, with each pair contributed by each parent i.e. 46 chromosomes in total. Every chromosome pair represents a set of homologous chromosome.
