Answer:
Answer is option A.
Vestigial features are fully developed and functional in one group of organisms but reduced and function less in a similar group.
Explanation:
- Vestigial structures are anatomical features such as cells, tissues or organs in an organism that are previously functional and performed some important functions in the organism but no longer serve any functions in the current form of the organism and become useless as a result of a large evolutionary change. Examples include the coccyx or the tailbone in humans, the pelvic bone of a snake, wisdom teeth in humans, nipples in human males, the wings of flightless birds such as kiwi, ostrich, etc.
- Homologous features are the features that are similar in different organisms having similar embryonic origin and development and are inherited from a common ancestor that also had that feature. Also, they might have different functions. An example is the presence of four limbs in tetrapods such as crocodiles, birds, etc.
- Analogous features are the features that are superficially similar in different organisms but had separate evolutionary origins i.e., different in origin, but similar in function. An example includes the wings on a fly, a moth, and a bird where the wings were developed independently as adaptations to perform the common function of flying.
- Polygenic features are the traits or features that are controlled by multiple genes that are located on the same or different chromosomes and are also affected by the environment. These features do not follow Mendel’s pattern of inheritance and are represented as a range of continuous variation. Examples of polygenic traits or features include skin color, height, hair color, eye color, etc. For example, there is wide variation in the human skin color (from light to dark) and height (short or tall or somewhere in between).
- Sympatry describes a species or a population that inhabit the same geographic region at the same time. In sympatric speciation, new species are evolved from a surviving ancestral species while both the species inhabit the same place at the same time i.e., in a single population, reproductive isolation occurs without geographic isolation.
Just by using current knowledge of our society today, this question explains itself for the answer choice of A. Teens think that they are capable of driving even though they only had "a few drinks". This is also the case with adults, because not all adults are responsible. Hope this helped!
A makes the most sense, though D could actually be an Ok reason, the other two aren't reasonable, a fire safety action? The door would be better open in a fire emergancy, it makes a quicker escape
Answer:
Find the explanation below.
Explanation:
A scientific question is an answerable and testable question that explains a particular aspect to a more general inquiry about nature. It is written in a manner that addresses a scientific inquiry. A scientific question has the following characteristics;
1. It is specific: A scientific question is not broad or cumbersome such that other questions are attached to it. It rather seeks the answer to a particular aspect of a broader question.
2. It is testable and replicable: This implies that to answer the question, standard scientific measures can be employed to solve it. It should also be replicable in any standard laboratory in the world using the equipment and measures specified.
3. It should be objective: This implies that the question should not be subject to personal opinions or have moral undertones to it.
4. It should solve a problem: Our world is posed with so many problems. A scientific question should provide answers to a specific part of one of these questions.
5. It is a new question that has not been satisfactorily answered before: A scientific question should not have received generally accepted scientific answers. It addresses a new problem that has not been answered previously.
Answer: The colour of A before the starch test is GREEN while after the starch test is BLUE- BLACK. The equation for photosynthesis is
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Explanation:
PHOTOSYNTHESIS is the process by which green plants use energy from sunlight to manufacture their own food. It is a building up process since simple inorganic compounds such as carbondioxide and water are built up into large organic compounds such as glucose and OXYGEN is given off as a by product.
Oxygen given out in photosynthesis occurs in the light stage during the process of photolysis of water. This occurs when the chlorophyll traps, absorbs and captures light energy and become energised. The energised chlorophyll supplies energy which is to split molecules of water into hydrogen ion ( H+) and hydroxyl ion ( OH-). The hydroxyl ion is reconverted to water and oxygen is given out as a by product.
To show that chlorophyll is NECESSARY for photosynthesis, a variegated leaf with green and yellow patches is used for an experiment.
The green portion is marked A and the yellow portion marked B. The leaf is tested for starch using the procedure below:
--> place leaf in boiling water for half a minute to kill it.
--> decolorize leaf by placing it in hot alcohol.
--> dip decolorize leaf in hot water to soften it.
--> place leaf on tile and add iodine solution to it.
RESULT: It would be found that only the green parts contain starch as blue+black colouration is observed while yellow area is unaffected by iodine.
