Answer:

Homologous features

If two or more species share a unique physical feature, such as a complex bone structure or a body plan, they may all have inherited this feature from a common ancestor. Physical features shared due to evolutionary history (a common ancestor) are said to be homologous.

When two organisms share a common ancestor, their genetic code has to be similar. The extent of similarities determines how recently have the organisms evolved.

How do species evolve from a common ancestor?

Repeated branching events, in which new species split off from a common ancestor, produce a multi-level "tree" that links all living organisms. Darwin referred to this process, in which groups of organisms change in their heritable traits over generations, as “descent with modification." Today, we call it evolution.

The cells of plants and animals are similar, except for a few different structures. Which structures are only found in plant cel
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

large central vacuole

cell wall

Explanation:

Let me clear some things up for you. There are two types of cells - Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. The principle difference between these types of cells are the structure of their genome. In case of prokaryotes, the genomic matter do not have a defined structure, it just kind of floats around in the protoplasm. But in the eukaryotes, the genome is more structured, have all kinds of proteins associated with them, and is surrounded by a two layered sack called the nuclear membrane. Both plant and animal cells have these feature of structured nucleus, therefore, they are both eukaryotes.

Now for the difference between plant and animal cells. the features you mentioned are unique about plant cells, but do not rule them out from being eukaryotes, as the 'true' structure of the nucleus is still there. Cell walls are necessary for the plant cells because plants do not posses an endoskeleton like most of the animals do. The cell wall makes the whole plant rigid so they don't fall apart or appear like a blob. Chloroplast is where photosynthesis happens, so it should most definitely be in a plant cell. Animals don't do photosynthesis so they don't have chloroplasts. Vacuoles are also present in animal cells, but they are much smaller, greater in number, and are known as lysosomes. Functionally they are virtually the same.

Why is protien synthesis different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
zhenek [66]
Prokaryotic protein synthesis can be fairly fast because one gene can be transcribed and translated simultaneously. Eukaryotic synthesis is slower, but more precious. They can "check" the mRNA before it is translated into protein.

Why are the two strands of the double helix "perfect and specific compliments"?
77julia77 [94]
Because for the strands to form a double helix the base pairs have to match perfectly (adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine) in DNA , and if a strand of RNA is paired with a split strand of DNA it goes adenine with uracil and cytosine with guanine (uracil replaces thymine)
