Bats and humans are both mammals and share a common ancestor. Because of this, a human arm and a bat wing have similar bone structure. In contrast, bird wings and bat wings have different structures. Explain these relationships in terms of homologous and analogous structures. 2. The Channel Islands are a series of small islands off the California coast. Each island has a genetically distinct population of foxes. Compare the population of foxes on one of these islands to the population of foxes in the forests of mainland California. Which is more likely to be impacted by genetic drift? Which is more likely to be at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? 3. Living organisms are commonly divided into six kingdoms: archaea, bacteria, fungi, protists, plants, and animals. What’s the biggest problem with classifying organisms in this way? 4. a. How do radioactive elements help scientists establish how old rocks and fossils are? b. How do index fossils help scientists establish how old rocks and other fossils are? In your answer, include fossils in the same layer of rock, in a lower layer of rock, and in a higher layer of rock compared to an index fossil. 5. Compare and contrast the lytic and lysogenic life cycles of viruses. How does the virus reproduce in each of these life cycles? What happens to the host cell in each of these life cycles? 6. Seeds are one way that plants reproduce. a. What are the reproductive advantages of using seeds to reproduce? b. What are the two major divisions of seed plants, and how do plants in each of these divisions reproduce? 7. How is water transported into and through a plant? In your answer, describe the processes that move water into three different structures of a plant. 8. Describe two ways that plants respond to their environment, giving an example of each. Your answer can include ways that plants respond to seasonal changes, light, gravity, or touch.

an organism's phenotype is the  form of a trait  that it  displays. for  flowercolor, a pea  plant  can  display  a phenotype of purple or white flowers. an organism's  genotype  is the alleles of a gene it contains. based on his data, mendel concluded that a phenotype can be  determined  by more than one  genotype.

easy

explanation:

question#1

ans:

cell is the basic unit of organization of all living things. cells are often called the building block of life and it is the smallest unit of life. the study of cell is called cell biology. cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within membrane, which contain bio-molecules such as proteins and nucleic acid.

two third of cell is water, which means that two-third of your whole body is water. the rest is the mixture of molecules, mainly proteins, lipids and carbohydrates.

question#2

ans:

organ:

an organ is a group of tissues specialized to form a functional unit. an example is the heart in animals.

organ system:

an organ system is a group of several organs whose functions are synchronized to release an effective action in a living organism. an example is digestive system.

question#3

different systems perform different function at tissue level. for example, the respiratory system facilitates breathing. in the alveoli tissue of the lungs, the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules between the air and the bloodstream occurs by passive transport, so that oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide and water are removed. different systems of the body carry out different functions. for example, your digestive system is responsible for taking in and processing food, while your respiratory system working with your circulatory system is responsible for taking up oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide.

question#4

different systems perform different function at tissue level. for example, the respiratory system facilitates breathing. in the alveoli tissue of the lungs, the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules between the air and the bloodstream occurs by passive transport, so that oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide and water are removed. different systems of the body carry out different functions. for example, your digestive system is responsible for taking in and processing food, while your respiratory system—working with your circulatory system is responsible for taking up oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide.

question#5

our body works because of the interactions that happen between organs and organ systems.  

for example:  

the heart to regulate blood flow throughout the body. the blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the cells and carries carbon dioxide and waste away from the cells. body systems work together in maintaining a constant internal environment. when this balance is disrupted, the body systems may not function properly, and human health can suffer.   you start to feel bad.
