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

How is respiration regulated ?​
Allisa [31]

\huge\mathbb\colorbox{black}{\color{yellow}{AnSwEr}}

In humans, the medulla region of the brain is mainly responsible for the regulation process of respiration. It is also called the respiratory rhythm centre. The chemosensitive area located near the respiratory centre sends signals across nerve impulses to alter the rate of expiration to eliminate compounds.

Which of the following is a way that some animals' bodies adapt to living in extremely cold climates?
Alisiya [41]
I think it's C. Because hibernation is usually for animals living in Continental climates. I basically just eliminated the other answers until I got that one. One example for animals living in cold climates burrowing are Arctic Foxes.

Dihybrid Practice Problems

Answer:

a. Genotype of the parents are; Rr and rr

b. Please find the explanation to A below

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene that codes for flower color in a plant. The allele for red flower (R) is dominant over the allele for white flower (r). This means that a plant that is heterozygous for flower color (Rr) will be red.

In a cross between a plant with red flowers and white flowers, the phenotype of the offsprings is represented as: 37 plants with red flowers and 41 plants with white flowers. Observing from this number, one would realize that the phenotype ratio is equivalent to 1:1. This phenotypic ratio is only possible when the parent with red flower is heterozygous for the gene i.e. Rr. Hence, the genotype of the parents are: Rr and rr.

b) If one were to cross Rr (red flower) × rr (white flower), the phenotypic ratio of red to white offsprings will be 1:1. Hence, judging from the ratio got from the cross of the two parents above (1:1), the parental genotypes are Rr and rr.
