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

What drives deep ocean currents?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

B) difference in water density

Explanation:

The deep ocean currents are the cold ocean currents. They appear in the Arctic and Antarctic circles. As the warm ocean currents come from the low latitudes toward the high latitudes, they bring in warmer water on the surface. They start to cool off though as the near the high latitudes, so gradually they become cold ocean currents. As they become cold, the water is sinking below the less dense warmer water that is coming from behind, making a turn in the opposite direction and moving as deep ocean current toward the low latitudes. Once it reaches the low latitudes, this water will get warmer, and it will move toward the high latitudes, and the process constantly continues.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Personally, I believe the information helps.

Explanation:

Without this information the virus would not be contained, we would not have done research, taken samples, tested out the virus, or even attempted to contain it. With this information we can attempt to prevent a break out of the disease again. This is my personal opinion though.

Describe two potential biological risks of large scale cultivation and use of such genetically modified plants
expeople1 [14]
Risk of large scale production:
1. With an increase in production, there can become managerial problems. Workers can become lax, making of decisions become difficult and communication between workers become hard.
2. A large scale operation, needs technical tools like machines. Finance to buy machines can become a problem and hamper growth.

Risk of Genetically modified plants
1. They can become contaminants. The cross pollinated plants and seeds can travel, and contaminate the gene pool. Thereby, threatening future generations of plants.
2. They can produce side effects. Engineered plants, can lead to development of new toxins, carcinogens and deficiencies of nutrition.
