Gravitational |
|
Answer» Gravitation or just gravity is the force of attraction between any two bodies. All the objects in the universe attract each other with a certain amount of force, but in most of the cases, the force is too weak to be observed due to the very large distance of separation. Besides, gravity’s range is infinite but the effect becomes weaker as objects move away. This force of attraction was first observed by Sir Isaac Newton and was presented as Newton’s law of gravitation in the year 1680. However, gravitation can generally exist in two main instances. |

Why should we conserve biodiversity? |
|
Answer» There are three types of benefits of biodiversity, they are 1. Economic benefits. 2. Ecological benefits. 3. Ethical benefits. 1. Narrow utilitarian reasons for direct or economic benefits Man derives maximum economic benefits from nature in the form of food (cereals, pulses fruits), fire wood, construction material, industrial products (tannin, resins, gums, latex, perfumes, dyes) and products of medicinal importance (quinine, reserpine, morphine, nimbin, vincristine), more than 25% of the drugs sold in market are derived from plants, more than 85% of the food materials are obtained from just 20 traditional crop species like cereals, millets, pulses etc. Scientists are busy in exploring molecular genetics and species level diversity for products of economic importance this is called biprospecting. 2. Broadly utilitarian reasons for ecological benefits or services Biodiversity is necessary for maintenance and sustainable utilization of useful products and services from various ecosystems, such as cycling and recycling of nutrients through producers, consumers and decomposers, helps in maintaining climate conditions, soil fertility , pollination of plants, decomposition of waste and services such as purification of air, water mitigating floods and droughts and other environmental disasters. 3. Ethical reasons or benefits Biodiversity has an ethical role. Every species have an intrinsic right to exist and share the wealth of the planet, therefore, it is our moral duty to ensure the well being of all other organisms and leave the biological legacy to future generations. |

What are homologous organs? What is homology? What do the homologous organs explain as an evidence of organic evolution? |
|
Answer» Organs which are similar in origin but perform varied functions are called homologous organs. Example: mouth parts of insects. Homology is phenomenon of having similar origin and basic structures in different species due to their common ancestry for the same phenotype. Homologous organs indicate divergent evolution. |
|
| 18. |
How do homologous organs provide evidence in support of evolution? |
|
Answer» The presence of homologous organs indicates that all vertebrates have a common ancestry. Similarly all organs and system of the vertebrates show the fundamental similarities Which point towards common ancestry. |
