Answer: True

Explanation:

The related species have the similar body structure because the species inherit same gene from the common ancestor.

The species carry the same gene responsible for the characters which is carried generation after generation.

Example: The genes responsible for the limbs is carried from one generation to another in different-different organisms.

Answer: True

Explanation:

According to the theory of evolution the traits are passed from one generation to the other during the course of evolution. The related species are expected to have a common ancestor due to presence of homologous structures. The homologous structures are those structures which have the same structure but different function. The homologous structures help in supporting the evidence that modern day organisms have evolved from primitive organisms.

After chromosomes are formed, during which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers by their centromeres

lorasvet [3.4K]

4.Metaphase
All of the chromosomes are aligned midway between the spindle poles. A spindle is a dynamic network of microtubules that attaches to and moves chromosomes during nuclear division. Microtubules attach each chromatid to one of the spindle poles, and its sister to the opposite pole.

A nerve impulse from one neuron affects the activity of a neighboring neuron at a point of interaction called the:

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

A nerve impulse from one neuron affects the activity of a neighboring neuron at a point of interaction called the: SYNAPSE

Explanation:

A NEURON(or nerve cell) has 3 parts:

1. The dendrites(multiple)

2. The axon

3. The cell body

A SYNAPSE is an area where the dendrites of one neuron communicates with the axon of another neuron.

At the synapse, nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron to the other. This is possible through substances called NEUROTRANSMITTERS. There is no direct contact between the axon of one neuron and dendrites of another neuron.

The compound light microscope is most useful for viewing

pychu [463]

The correct answer is detailed structure inside the cell.

The main feature of compound light microscope is the light source which helps to see the objects more clearly. This microscope is usually used to see the detailed structure inside the cell. The cell organelles are clearly visible that are very minute in size and cannot be seen through naked eyes. This allows us to study the features of the cell more accurately and precisely.
