Question
Chapter 4, Problem 3S
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the flagella are an example of a homologous or analogous trait considering the structure and function of the flagella found on eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Introduction:
In terms of evolution, the homologous traits are derived traits are similar in structure as they are evolved from and the analogous traits are similar in function. Analogous trait is an example of the convergent evolution and homologous traits are inherited from the common ancestor.

Students have asked these similar questions
Genetically speaking, prokaryotes are different from eukaryotes because:
a. prokaryotes usually have one main circular chromosome, whereas eukaryotes have multiple linear chromosomes
prokaryotes do not usually have histone proteins to package their DNA
prokaryotes do not have a nucleus to house their DNA as eukaryotes do
prokaryotes have less total DNA than do eukaryotes
All of the above
According to the theory of endosymbiosis, organelles, like mitochondria and chloroplasts, were once free-living cells that were absorbed into another cell. The relationship benefited both cells to stay together. What evidence do scientists observe today that supports the theory of endosymbiosis? Select all that apply.
a
There are ribosomes found inside mitochondria and chloroplasts just like there are inside cells.
b
Looking inside mitochondria and chloroplasts, one will find that they each contain their own DNA.
c
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are found inside all cell types.
d
Mitochondria and chloroplasts each have a membrane around them just like a cell would.
The cells labeled A came from my (Riva's) cheek. The cells labeled B came from an aquatic plant called Elodea.
Which is a difference you can see in these images?
the cheek cells have organelles, the Elodea cells do not
the cheek cells have no cell wall, the Elodea cells do
there is only one cheek cell but many Elodea cells
the cheek cells are eukaryotic, the Elodea cells are prokaryotic
all these choices are correct

- Based on the presence of mitochondria and chloroplast within eukaryotic cells, what organelle do you think originated within eukaryotic cells first: mitochondria or chloroplast? Why?arrow_forwardI have a pet amoeba. It's name is Stretch. I look at stretch every day with my microscope, feed it, play with it, etc., like any good pet owner would. But one day, I notice that Stretch is really stretching out! And a few minutes later, Stretch has turned into two. Amoebas reproduce through mitosis, where they replicate all of their internal biology, then split themselves into two, each new cell carrying everything it needs to survive. Which one is Stretch? Both? How can that be, since things are only identical to themselves? We wouldn't call identical twins the same person, even though they are very similar to one another. Are neither Stretch? One but not the other? How would we determine that? Explain whatever it is that you think is true, and back it up with some reasoning. Be sure your response is at least 300 words.
