The image below compares the structure of a bat wing to that of a bird. based on what you know about the classifications of these animals and the difference in the bone structure of their wings, which of the following is the most logical conclusion about their evolution? (bat and bird wing bones and silhouettes are shown side-by-side. each has a single 'upper arm' bone and two parallel 'lower arm' bones that attach to 'hand' bones. the bat wing has 4 long digits inside the wing and one outside the wing. the bird has three digits inside the wing. the bat wing's silhouette has skin stretched between the digits while the bird wing's silhouette has feathery edges.) a. they both descended from a recent common ancestor, making bats more closely related to birds than to other mammals. b. they both inherited their wings from a common ancestor and then diverged in their other body characteristics. c. they evolved from a wingless common ancestor and developed wings independently of each other. d. they evolved from entirely different ancestors but both developed wings in response to similar ecological conditions. i'm leaning towards d but i'm not 100% sure : /

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.

Whenever diploid populations are in hardy-weinberg equilibrium at a particular locus a) the allele's frequency should not change from one generation to the next, but its representation in homozygous and heterozygous genotypes may change. b) natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift are acting equally to change an allele's frequency. c) this means that, at this locus, two alleles are present in equal proportions. d) the population itself is not evolving, but individuals within the population may be evolving.
