Answer:
D
Explanation:
The presence of homeotic genes shows that all of the listed organisms (mice, flies, humans etc) all evolved from a common ancestor.
(A) is wrong as the evidence of the same gene existing in vastly different species shows the evolutionary relationship between these organisms.
(B) is wrong as there is insufficient evidence to prove that flies are the precessor of humans. We do know that flies and humans have evolved from a common ancestor though.
(C) is non-conclusive as the passage said nothing about the gene allowing the species to have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing. Hence, an errornous claim.
(D) is the correct answer as from a common ancestor, all of the listed organisms undergo and accumulates mutation, undergoes selective pressures that resulted in divergent evolution (aka branching evolution that results in many noval species forming) after millions of years.
Answer:
During sexual reproduction, meiosis generates genetic variation in offspring because the process randomly shuffles genes across chromosomes and then randomly separates half of those chromosomes into each gamet
Answer:
I think it's A- phylum, hope this helps
Answer: Image D has the most direct sunlight
Explanation:
Since direct sunlight is supposed to be intense, it can't be B or C. Sunlight is most intense in summe, so winter and fall are out. Now we have A and D left. The sun is illustrated in image D and the area the sun covers is larger than image A's, so image D has the most direct sunlight.
