They provide evidence of genes coding for structures that are present not because they are useful, but because they were once useful to an ancestor.
<span>One example is the plantaris muscle. This is a long, thin muscle in the human foot and calf that serves no significanl purpose in humans ... in fact, it is regularly removed by doctors harvesting muscle tissue to use in reconstructive heart surgery, because its removal leaves no loss of function in walking or balance. </span>
<span>However this same muscle is found more fully developed in the feet and calves of other primates. It is the muscle used for grasping with the feet.</span>
The correct answer is: C. Both are composed of prokaryotic organisms. The Archaea live in very extreme environments, like hot springs, bacteria do not.
Archaea and Bacteria are both prokaryotes meaning that they are single-celled organisms without nucleus or other membrane-organelles. Difference between these two groups include:
• The cell wall
• Spores
• Habitat
Answer:
As lionfish populations grow, they put additional stress on coral reefs. For example, lionfish eat herbivores, and herbivores eat algae from coral reefs. Without herbivores, algal growth goes unchecked, which can be detrimental to the health of coral reefs.
Explanation:
Answer:
plants control and coordinate by changing the structure of water molecules.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
Natural selection is the way that organisms adapt through adaptations to better survive and pass on the special genes which enable the offspring to survive. Saying an organism will always mutate to survive is wrong, as natural selection implies that not all organisms survive. With natural selection, nothing is "selected", so B and C are not correct. However, mutations DO make organisms "more fit" to survive their environments, so D is the answer.
