Answer :3. similarities among vertebrate forelimbs suggest that they evolved from a common ancestor.
Explanation:
The study of differences and similarities in the anatomy of different species is comparative anatomy. It is based on the concept that
1.)Homologous structures which are present in different species, because they have a common decent and must have evolved divergently from a shared ancestor. Theses anatomic structures may not be used for the same purposes. For example the forelimb of fox and whale.
2. Some structures (Analogous)which are similar in different organisms must have evolved ,(acquired through natural selection) through convergent evolution in similar environment, and not inherited from a recent ancestor. These organisms usually use these structures for a common purpose. For example the streamline body shape of shark and porpoises, which though are used for a common purpose of swimming, were inherited from different ancestors.
. Example of comparative anatomy is the common bone structures in forelimbs of fox, whales, bats, and humans. These appendages is made up of the same basic parts; despite serving different functions.
Comparative anatomy helps scientists in classification of organisms based on their similar characteristics of their anatomical structures.
To produce eggs.
The large pinecones we typically see are female cones which house the eggs and then becomes a seed. The little cones that we don’t really notice are male cones
Fragmentation, also known as splitting, as a method of reproduction is seen in many organisms such as filamentous cyanobacteria, molds, lichens, many plants, and animals such as sponges, acoel flatworms, some annelid worms and sea stars.
