Anatomical features that are fully developed and functional in one group of organisms but reduced and functionless in a similar
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Answer is option A.

Vestigial features are fully developed and functional in one group of organisms but reduced and function less in a similar group.

Explanation:

  • Vestigial structures are anatomical features such as cells, tissues or organs in an organism that are previously functional and performed some important functions in the organism but no longer serve any functions in the current form of the organism and become useless as a result of a large evolutionary change. Examples include the coccyx or the tailbone in humans, the pelvic bone of a snake, wisdom teeth in humans, nipples in human males, the wings of flightless birds such as kiwi, ostrich, etc.
  • Homologous features are the features that are similar in different organisms having similar embryonic origin and development and are inherited from a common ancestor that also had that feature. Also, they might have different functions. An example is the presence of four limbs in tetrapods such as crocodiles, birds, etc.
  • Analogous features are the features that are superficially similar in different organisms but had separate evolutionary origins i.e., different in origin, but similar in function. An example includes the wings on a fly, a moth, and a bird where the wings were developed independently as adaptations to perform the common function of flying.
  • Polygenic features are the traits or features that are controlled by multiple genes that are located on the same or different chromosomes and are also affected by the environment. These features do not follow Mendel’s pattern of inheritance and are represented as a range of continuous variation. Examples of polygenic traits or features include skin color, height, hair color, eye color, etc. For example, there is wide variation in the human skin color (from light to dark) and height (short or tall or somewhere in between).
  • Sympatry describes a species or a population that inhabit the same geographic region at the same time. In sympatric speciation, new species are evolved from a surviving ancestral species while both the species inhabit the same place at the same time i.e., in a single population, reproductive isolation occurs without geographic isolation.

Choose all that apply.
Elodia [21]

The correct answers are options:

1. Amphibians evolved before land reptiles.

4. Elephants appear in the fossil record after dinosaurs became extinct.

The relative dating is a technique of dating with respect to any past event. In this case, two events are discussed to be occurred in a sequence related to one-another. In the option 1, the amphibians are said to be evolved before reptiles. So, the evolution of the amphibians is relatively dated with the evolution of reptiles. Same in the option 4, the evolution of the elephants is relatively dated with the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Environmental science in sanitary landfills, liquid produced by the interaction of rainwater with solid waste is called ________
Grace [21]
<span>In sanitary landfills, liquid that is produced by the interaction of rainwater with solid waste is called a leachate. This is because when rainwater makes contact with the solid wastes which are usually buried, the liquid draws out chemical constituents from those wastes. The leachate can then carry harmful substances that can seep through underground and affect groundwater.</span>
