• 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.

How is anerobic respiration affected by changes in temperature?
RUDIKE [14]
Anaerobic respiration is when organisms don't use oxygen to breathe. That occurs in organisms such as yeasts. Usually, the higher the temperature the more anaerobic respiration occurs.

The surface, or blank, of the earth is broken into about blank plates that float on the liquid blank
Phoenix [80]

Lithosphere

13 major plates

Asthenosphere

Explanation:

The surface or lithosphere of the earth is broken into about 7 major plates that floats on the liquid asthenosphere.

The analogy above describes the theory behind plate tectonics.

  • The crust and the rigid part of the upper mantle forms the lithosphere.
  • The lithosphere is broken down into series of pieces called plates.
  • There about 13 plates on earth surface.
  • The rigid plates moves on the weak asthenosphere below as a result of convection currents.

What usually happens when new evidence is discovered that is not already explained in an existing theory? Group of answer choice
meriva

Answer:

The best answer to the question would be - The theory is adapted to account for the new evidence.

Explanation:

If a piece of new scientific evidence is discovered for an already existing scientific theory that is already not explained in the theory it would be lead to the modification of the theory in order to make the theory so it can explain the newly find evidence.

If the theory can not be modified to fit the new scientific evidence the given theory is rejected ultimately. But more often theories are modified to explain the newer findings.

Thus, the best answer to the question would be - The theory is adapted to account for the new evidence.
