<h2>Homologous</h2>

Explanation:

  • <em>Two or more species share a unique physical feature,</em> for example, an unpredictable bone structure or a body plan, they may all have acquired this component from a typical predecessor.
  • Physical highlights shared because of developmental history (a typical progenitor) are said to be homologous.  
  • <em>The front flippers of whales and the forelegs of four-legged vertebrates like canines and crocodiles are completely gotten from the equivalent tribal tetrapod structure.</em>

In which type of cell must a mutation occur in order for an entire organism to show the mutation?
nignag [31]
For mutations to affect an organism's descendants, they must: 1) occur in cells that produce the next generation, and 2) affect the hereditary material. Ultimately, the interplay between inherited mutations and environmental pressures generates diversity among species.
