Why do a chicken embryo and a cow embryo look very similar even though the adults do not? they are not related, but still have similar development. they are distantly related, so their development is similar. the embryos mutate in utero to form different structures. the genetic makeup of the two species is similar.

What advantage does a crop that undergoes vegetative reproduction have over plants that start from the seed? 1points a they store nutrients. b they can travel farther. c they experience more genetic variation. d they only occur in high-resource environments.

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

The fruit of a certain plant is sweet and fleshy. the seeds of this plant have a seed coat that is fairly tough. the seeds germinate better if they are exposed to acid, or scarification. what is the most likely type of dispersal for this seed? water animal wind
