Answer:

They are veins and arteries. The primary function of arteries is to transport highly oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from our hearts and distribute it to the rest of our body. Veins, on the other hand, are used to pump much-needed blood back to the heart.

Why do animals have a specialized form of cellular reproduction (meiosis) in addition to the much more common for used for growt
ratelena [41]

This is because the cells we need for reproduction need to be genetically different from those of the rest of the body.

Cellular reproduction

When a mother cell divides into two or more daughter cells, this process is known as cell division.  Cell division frequently takes place as a component of a longer cell cycle. There are two different types of cell division in eukaryotes: a vegetative division (mitosis), in which each daughter cell inherits the genetic makeup of the parent cell, and a reproductive division (gametogenesis), in which the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is cut in half to produce haploid gametes (meiosis).  In cell biology, the process of mitosis, during which replicated chromosomes are split into two new nuclei, is a stage of the cell cycle. The number of chromosomes is maintained in the genetically identical cells produced by cell division.

Which of the examples below illustrates a homologous body structure?
AlladinOne [14]

The forearm of birds, reptiles, and humans illustrates a homologous body structure.

  • Similar physical characteristics found in species with a shared origin are known as homologous structures, although these characteristics have entirely different biological purposes.
  • The limbs of humans, cats, whales, and bats are examples of homologous structures.
  • All of these structures—arm, leg, flipper, and wing—are supported by the same type of bone structure.
  • The arms of a person and the wings of a bat are excellent examples of homologous structures. Because both bats and people are mammals, they have a common ancestor.
  • Even though they appear considerably different from one another from the outside, a bat's wing and a human arm have remarkably comparable internal bone structures.
  • Wings help bats fly, whereas arms enable human interaction with their environment. The wing and the arm also have various purposes.
