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.

I REALLY hope this has helped you!!! :)

Answer:
1500
Explanation:
Let's assume that the allele for yellow seed color is "Y" and the allele for green seed color is "y". Genotype of pure breeding yellow seeded plant would be "YY" and that of the green seeded plant would be "yy". A cross between YY and yy gives all heterozygous yellow seeded plants (Yy) in F1 progeny. Self pollination of two F1 plants (Yy x Yy) obtains F2 generation in 3 yellow: 1 green ratio.
The total population size of F2 generation = 2000
The proportion of yellow seeded plants in F2 generation = 3/4 (since the F2 phenotype ratio is given 3 yellow: 1 green)
Therefore, total number of yellow seeded plants in F2 progeny = 3/4 x 2000= 1500
Answer:
Earth's surface didn't look much different. With few exceptions.
The global climate is cooler and drier, and seasonal, similar to modern climates. As the climate began to cool down grasslands continued to expand and forests started to dwindle in extent. In the seas, kelp forests made their first appearance and soon became one of Earth's most productive ecosystems. Water from the Atlantic Ocean poured in through the Strait of Gibraltar to deluge the Mediterranean Basin. The event is called the Zanclean flood. Parts of of southern Norway and southern Sweden that had been near sea level rose to form the Hardangervidda plateau and the South Swedish highlands.
Shorty after, the glaciations, uplift of the Rocky mountains and Panama seaway closure began to reshape the Earth.
