Answer:

Distinguishing between Similar Traits

Similar traits can be either homologous structures that share an embryonic origin or analogous structures that share a function.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Explain the difference between homologous and analogous structures

KEY TAKEAWAYSKey PointsOrganisms may be very closely related, even though they look quite different, due to a minor genetic change that caused a major morphological difference.Unrelated organisms may appear very similar because both organisms developed common adaptations that evolved within similar environmental conditions.To determine the phylogeny of an organism, scientists must determine whether a similarity is homologous or analogous.The advancement of DNA technology, the area of molecular systematics, describes the use of information on the molecular level, including DNA analysis.Key Termsanalogous: when similar similar physical features occur in organisms because of environmental constraints and not due to a close evolutionary relationshiphomologous: when similar physical features and genomes stem from developmental similarities that are based on evolutionphylogeny: the evolutionary history of an organismmolecular systematics: molecular phylogenetics is the analysis of hereditary molecular differences, mainly in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism’s evolutionary relationships

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>In all flies,on the same Locus, on chromosome 2 at the same place you find the gene for antenna length.</h2>

Explanation:

In all fruit flies ,on the same  Locus, on chromosome 2 at the same place you find the gene for antenna length

All fruit flies contain same amount of gene and chromosomes, so the location of all gene in all fruit flies found at the same location.

A gene for antenna length in all fruit flies on chromosome 2 is present on same the location.

Which of the following statements about the products of glycolysis is TRUE?
lana66690 [7]
<span>You are likely talking about aerobic respiration rather then just glycolysis based on the options: The third option seems best, pyruvate is heavily oxidized during the Kreb's cycle and removed as CO2.
 
Wrong options
Option1- FADH2 is also another highly energetic molecule produced during

Option2- oxidation of pyruvate is a highly directional process and can be considered irreversible in the cell

Option4- Aerobic respiration RELEASES energy from pyruvate and the into NADH/FADH which is then captured by the electron transport chain. An exergonic rxn would take in energy and would not happen spontaneously


This can be looked from different perspectives, but let me know if my answer made sense. </span>
