The comparison of species based on common physical characteristics Thus, the correct option is D.

<h3>What is cladistics?</h3>

Cladistics is a method of biological taxonomy that organizes taxa in a branching hierarchy so that all members of a given taxon share the same ancestors and defines taxa uniquely by shared traits not present in ancestral groupings.

Clades, which are collections of organisms made up of an ancestor species and its offspring, are also identified through cladistics.

A cladogram only displays one probable phylogeny for a collection of organisms. It can shed light on the process of evolution. A cladogram should not be viewed as a representation of genuine evolutionary processes, though. It may or may not depict what actually occurred. It merely illustrates what might have occurred.

Explain how the positions of the sun, moon and earth cause the moon phases?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Instead, the Moon's phase depends only on its position relative to Earth and the Sun. The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. The Sun always illuminates one half of the Moon.Earth's shadow cast on the Moon.

mendel crossed a plant that was pure breeding for the traits of green pods and terminal flowers with one that was heterozygus fo
Travka [436]
It would likely be green pods and terminal flowers because its dominant compared to the one with traits of pod colors and flower position. Heterozygous means that the flower contains two separate alleles of the gene. I cant really explain further without knowing more information but with the information given it seems to me that the outcome would be green pods and terminal flowers.

Discuss the process of the chloride shift in both the respiratory and the digestive systems.
zhannawk [14.2K]

  Carbon dioxide is generated in tissues as a byproduct of normal metabolism. It dissolves in blood plasma to form carbonic acid (H2CO3); red blood cell (RBC) carbonic anhydrase catalyzes this reaction. Carbonic acid then spontaneously dissociates to form bicarbonate (HCO3−) and a hydrogen ion (H+). In response to the decrease in intracellular <span>pCO2</span>, more CO2 passively diffuses into the cell.

Cell membranes are generally impermeable to charged ions (i.e. H+, HCO3− ) but RBCs are able to exchange bicarbonate for chloride using the anion exchanger protein Band 3. Thus, the rise in intracellular bicarbonate leads to bicarbonate export and chloride intake. The term "chloride shift" refers to this exchange. Consequently, chloride concentration is lower in systemic venous blood than in systemic arterial blood: high venous pCO2 leads to bicarbonate production in RBCs, which then leaves the RBC in exchange for chloride coming in.<span>[2]</span>

Which enzymes serve as catalysts in metabolism?
fomenos
In biochemical reactions, it is mostly triggered by enzymes. Enzymes are important components in the process that involves metabolism and digestive functions, further, most of these enzymes are proteins.Proteins are biological macromolecule and mostly composed of enzymes.<span> Proteins play a role in the physical make-up of a cell or acts as a cytoskeleton –maintains cell shape and figure. These proteins plays different roles and works with nucleic acids and other macromolecules in the cells including cell cycle, cell adhesion, immune response and cell indicators.  </span>

If biological species are defined in terms of reproductive compatibility, the formation of a new species hinges on ________.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

  • <u> Option-(B): </u> If biological species are defined in terms of reproductive compatibility, the formation of a new species hinges on <u>reproductive isolation.</u>                            

Explanation:

  • There is diversity among being and we see that millions of species roam the face of land, all this happens in the tenure of centuries. While the process of evolution or creation of new species happens when a certain specie is kept inside such an environment or a very unique environment that the species is tempted to cross with another form of organism belonging to a different specie, so, this process initiates the creation of new species or organisms having a very different set of characteristics as compared to there ancestors.
