Answer:
Homologous characters
Explanation:
Homologous character is usually defined as those set of characters that are observed in various organisms and are similar to one another. It is because these organisms have obtained these characters from a common ancestor, having that same distinct characters.
The evolution that occurs in this type of organisms are commonly known as the homologous evolution, where the similarities between the organisms are found in terms of physiology, structure and/or other development, depending upon their common ancestors.
Answer:
Explanation:
1 Long term exposure to harmful genotoxic chemicals or ionizing radiation can cause changes in the base sequence of DNA.Chemicals might induce DNA mutations, such as polycyclic hydrocarbons (fumes found in oil stations, or smoke from a tobacco cigarette), intercalating agents such as Ethidium Bromide (carcinogen), but also radiations such as UV-radiation (C and T bases are most vulnerable and would bind to identical bases unstead of their
2 Genetic changes that are described as de novo (new) mutations can be either hereditary or somatic. In some cases, the mutation occurs in a person’s egg or sperm cell but is not present in any of the person’s other cells. In other cases, the mutation occurs in the fertilized egg shortly after the egg and sperm cells unite. (It is often impossible to tell exactly when a de novo mutation happened.) As the fertilized egg divides, each resulting cell in the growing embryo will have the mutation. De novo mutations may explain genetic disorders in which an affected child has a mutation in every cell in the body but the parents do not, and there is no family history of the disorder.
Somatic mutations that happen in a single cell early in embryonic development can lead to a situation called mosaicism. These genetic changes are not present in a parent’s egg or sperm cells, or in the fertilized egg, but happen a bit later when the embryo includes several cells. As all the cells divide during growth and development, cells that arise from the cell with the altered gene will have the mutation, while other cells will not. Depending on the mutation and how many cells are affected, mosaicism may or may not cause health problems.

Explanation: Zebra mussels are creatures that latch on to boats and inhabit areas that they are supposed to be in. To reduce the influx of Zebra mussels you can
1. Always check the bottom of your boat before coming back from a different area.
2. If you see zebra mussels you can use high pressure hot water to get them off.
3. Mark the area zebra mussels are located so you can warn others to look under their boats when they are coming back from that area.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
interphase
Explanation:
The cell cycle has two major phases: interphase and the mitotic phase (Figure 1). During interphase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated. During the mitotic phase, the replicated DNA and cytoplasmic contents are separated, and the cell divides.
Answer:
NEUROTRANSMITTER
Explanation:
Imbalances with neurotransmitter results in depression, anxiety and other mood disorders. Examples of neurotransmitters that affects mood are Serotonin, Dopamine, GABA and Norepinephrine.
The Acetylcholine and norepinephrine are known as the excitatory neurotransmitters and the dopamine, serotonin, and GABA are known inhibitory neurotransmitter.
A Neurotransmitter influences behaviour by affecting neurons in a specific portion of the brain.
