d. cat's leg

Answers

Answer:

Flipper of a whale and bird's wing are homologous structures.

For more better explanation see below.

Explanation:

Flipper of Whale is homologus to the wing of a bird. Homologous organs - The structure which are similar in their morphology, anatomy, genetics and embryology, but dissimilar  in their functions.  

Flipper of whale and wing of bird has similar morphology and anatomy, but differ in their functions according to their species as  well as the habitat where they live in.

A dolphin’s flipper, bird’s wing, cat’s leg, and the human arm are considered homologous structures. Whereas human beings have bones such as the humerus, ulna, radius, wrist bones, and fingers, these features appear as similar bones in form in the other animals. Bats, whales, and many other animals have very similar homologous structures, demonstrating that these creatures all had a common ancestor.

The electromagnetic wave that butterflies, hedgehogs, and many other animals can see is the ultraviolet light that is in Option B, as the ultraviolet light gives these animals a different perspective to visualize.

What role does UV light play in animals?

Many animals can see the UV lights, and this is important as the flowers and fruits emit ultraviolet patterns that are invisible to humans but are seen by pollinators such as butterflies and help them find foods.

Hence, the electromagnetic wave that butterflies, hedgehogs, and many other animals can see is the ultraviolet light that is in Option B, as the ultraviolet light gives these animals a different perspective to visualize.

A neurone is a type of specialised animal cell.
(a) (i) Neurones develop from unspecialised cells.
State the name of these unspecialised cells.

Answers

Answer:

Stem cells

Explanation:

Stem cells are immature or unspecialized cells

Neurons develop from unspecialized cells and unspecialized cells are stem cells.

What are the functions of stem cells?

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, an early-stage pre-implantation embryo. Human embryos reach the blastocyst stage 4–5 days post fertilization.

Stem cells are the body's raw materials — cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. Under the right conditions in the body or a laboratory, stem cells divide to form more cells called daughter cells.

The cells of the bone marrow produce all of your healthy blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
