Form a Hypothesis: As the map shows, the sickle cell allele is not found in African populations that are native to southern Afri

A hypothesis for this observation might be that malaria is not endemic to southern Africa. It is a plausible explanation of a given scientific question.

<h3>Hypothesis and scientific method</h3>

A hypothesis is a plausible explanation of an observation of the natural world, which must be tested by using the scientific method.

Testing a hypothesis involves performing additional observational and/or experimental procedures in order to confirm or reject this assumption.

In this case, the sickle cell allele is found in high frequency in regions where malaria is endemic.

Match the type of of evidence for evolution with the correct example. analogous structures vestigial structures homologous struc
gogolik [260]

• Homologous structures: Both Ostriches have wings similar in form to those of their ancestors, but that do not allow the birds to fly.

Homologous structures are those that have structural similarities but are different in function. For example, if we look at the anatomical structure of a bird’s wing, it is very similar in structure with a human arm. However, over the course of time they have evolved to perform different functions.

• Vestigial structures: The inner ear bones of mammals have evolved from bones that form the jaws of reptiles.  

Vestigiality refers to the process in which some structure lose their function over the course of evolution in some specie but they are functionally normal in other species.  Such a structure is the inner ear bones of mammals which donot perform an important function in mammals but do perform in reptiles.

• DNA sequence data: Both Genes involved in RNA replication are conserved among bacteria and animals, suggesting a common evolutionary origin.

The sequencing of genetic data is an excellent method of finding the evolutionary histories and relatedness of different organisms. This field of sciences is called phylogenetics and the mentioned example is the result of phylogenetics.

• Analogous structures: The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates arose independently, indicating a different evolutionary origin.  

Analogous structures are those that have similar function but they look very different in structure or anatomy. This is because they have been evolved from different ancestors and perform different functions. One example of these structures is mentioned, The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates that look different bur perform same function.

How are eukaryotic cells different from prokaryotic cells?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Prokaryotic cell:

Prokaryotic cell do not have the nucleus and their DNA is present in the cytoplasm. The membrane bound cell organelle are absent in the prokaryotic cells. The ribosome of prokaryotic cell is 70'S. Transcription and translation is coupled in prokaryotic cells.

Eukaryotic cells:

Eukaryotic cell have well defined nucleus and their DNA is present inside the nucleus. The membrane bound cell organelle are present in the eukaryotic cells. The ribosome of eukaryotic cell is 80'S. Transcription and translation is not coupled and takes place in separate compartments in eukaryotic cells.
