The evolutionary tree is not observed here but it is possible to answer this question by observing which nucleotide is found in the root of the node. It indicates the first substitution.

<h3>What is an evolutionary tree?</h3>

A phylogenetic evolutionary tree is a diagram used to show the evolution of a given taxonomic group (for example, a group of species).

It is possible to trace the evolution of a given taxon by tracing the nucleotide substitution observed from a common ancestor.

In an evolutionary tree, the root of the node is represented by the common ancestor and therefore the presence of a particular nucleotide (either T or C) in that position can be considered as the ancestral character.

What errors exist in the table below?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A. spiral galaxies are not pinwheel-shaped

Explanation:

There are three types of galaxies that include spiral galaxy, elliptical galaxy and irregular galaxy.

Elliptical galaxies are round shaped as well as elongated. Elliptical galaxies have both old and new stars but mostly it contains old stars.

Spiral galaxies are pinwheel-shaped due to the regular spinning motion of dust, stars and gas around the galactic center, at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per second which allows the matter to take a  pinwheel-shape. Spiral galaxies are made up of lot of gas and dust and forms many new stars which allows the spiral galaxy to shine bright.

Irregular galaxies do not have any definite shape because of the gravitational influence of close galaxies. They also have many new stars.

Hence, the error is foudn in first sentence, where it says that spiral galaxies are not pinwheel shaped. so teh correct option is A.

Answer:

The best evidence for the three domain system is

Sensitivity to Antibiotics

Explanation:

The three domains of life includes :

Archaea - oldest known domain, ancient forms of bacteria.

Bacteria - all other bacteria that are not included in the Archaea domain.

Eukarya - all the organisms that are eukaryotic or contain membrane-bound organelles and nuclei.

Types of evidences for the three domain system are:

1) differences in the sequences of nucleotides in the cell's robosomal RNAs (rRNA)

2) the cells's membrane lipid structure.

3) its sensitivity to antibiotics.
