A group of scientists determines that a mitochondrial DNA sequence shared by two species has a constant mutation rate. The seque

nces of mitochondrial DNA for the two species are shown below. Species A: GACTGGGCATTA Species B: GACCGGACATTA Based on this information, which of the following best explains the difference in the DNA sequence between the two species? Species A and B probably share the most recent ancestor because they only differ by three mutations. Species A and B have fewer differences between DNA sequences means that fewer mutations occurred. Species A and B probably have distinct ancestors because they have many differences in mutations. Species A and B are closely related because they differ by five mutations in their DNA sequence.

Species A and B have fewer differences between DNA sequences means that fewer mutations occurred. It is likely due to sequence homo-logy.

<h3>Whta are mutations?</h3>

A mutation is any alteration in the nucleotide (DNA) sequence of the genome of a particular organism.

The linear order of nucleotides and their differences (mutations) can be used to infer homo-logy between two species.

In this case, there are only two different nucleotides in these sequences, thereby sequence homo-logy indicates a likely common origin.

Anatomy<br> Label each of the following structures or processes.
RSB [31]

Answer:

A - DNA

B - mRNA

C - nuclear pore

D - tRNA

E - ribosome

F - rRNA

Explanation:

<em>The entire structure illustrates the process of transcription and translation in a typical eukaryotic cell.</em>

The DNA (A) in the nucleus of the cell is first transcribed to mRNA (B). The mRNA produced is transported to the cytoplasm through the openings within the nuclear membrane - the nuclear pores (C). On getting to the cytoplasm, the mRNA binds to the ribosome (E) (carrying rRNA, F). The tRNA (D) carrying the specific anticodon for a particular codon on the mRNA then binds to the structure and the corresponding amino acid is released. A polypeptide bond is formed between subsequent amino acids and the ribosome moves along the mRNA chain until the translation process is complete.

zmey [24]

1.) Achodroplasia is a autosomal dominant disorder, the suspected case suggested that inorder for the parents to produce and offspring with achondroplasia. One parents must have a single mutant gene of achodroplasia to be inherited by his offspring. for this case, It is suggested that the offspring might have developed its own mutant gene as it only affect 1 in 25,000 birth. There is changes of genes during early development.

2.) The mother said that they don't have that history of disorder. again, it's autosomal dominant disorder. one parents must have that kind of disorder so their child can also inherit it. Thus, no of the childs parents is a carrier.

jarptica [38.1K]
The correct answer is vacuole. Vacuole controls the water input and water output of an amoeba. It is found within endoplasm. The vacuole is an essential part of an amoeba because it maintains the life of an amoeba. Malfunction can cause the amoeba to burst.
