All chordates chare four structures. One of the is the tail. All vertebrate embryos have _a tail__ at some point during embryonic development, indicating a common evolutionary ancestor.

<h3>What is the relationship between chordates?</h3>

The evolutionary relationship between species is reflected in the similarities or differences in the patterns of embryonic development.

All chordates belong to the Chordata phylum, and share four main characteristics,

Notochord, which is a precursor of the dorsal spine.
Nerv cord, dorsally located and parallel to the notochord.
Pharyngeal clefts
Tail

All chordates express these structures at some point in their lives, especially in the early stages of embryogenesis. Many of them can be lost with animal development and become vestigial structures.

The tail is a vestigial structure in many vertebrates.

Vestigial structures are those body parts, genetically determined, that have been retained during the evolution of the taxonomic group but have lost or reduced their original function.

Such vestigial structures were plenty functional in the ancestors of new species, but now are typically degenerate, stunted, or rudimentary, and tend to be much more variable than homologous non-vestigial parts

All vertebrates develop a tail at some point in their embryonic life, even humans. However, this structure lost its original function in several species, so after a period of embryogenesis, this tail disappears, and its forming vertebras get fussed with each other composing the coccyx.

In many animals, the function of the tail is to stabilize, equilibrate and mobilize. But in humans, for instance, the coccyx has lost this function but is still an area of muscle insertion.

The correct option is Tail.

All vertebrate embryos have _a tail_ at some point during embryonic development, indicating a common evolutionary ancestor.

Is nonsense mutation worse than missense?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Generally nonsense is much much worse. It creates a premature stop code which can throw off the entire chain of codons and makes things much much worse. A good way to remember this is that the nonsense mutations make the codons not make sense.

Hypothesize whether prokaryotic cells might have been symbiotic before the evolution of eukaryotic

lorasvet [3.4K]

Some scientists hypothesize that the eukaryotic cells are really the result of symbiotic processes!

Specifically, the internal organs of the cells could be a remnant of a symbiotic relationship in which one cell lived inside of another cell. These two cells then both split upon reproduction and eventually the cell inside was reduced to an organelle.

But according to this theory, it is very likely that the prokaryotic cells engaged in a number of symbiotic relationship, and that this actually lead to the emergence of eukaryotic cells!

Did the addition of rooting compound make any difference in the time it took to develop roots? Did it make any difference in the

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

In in vitro plant tissue culture, indolbutyric acid and other auxins are used to initiate root formation in a procedure called micropropagation. The micropropagation of plants is an asexual propagation or propagation technique that is based on the organogenetic potential of plant cells, which consists of cultivating in vitro on appropriate substrates, isolated cells, portions of yolk meristems, vegetative apices at the beginning of their development or microstaquillas. Small samples of plants used are called explants. Auxins such as indolbutyric acid can be used to cause mass formation of undifferentiated cells called corns. Callus formation is often used as a first step in the micropropagation process since, by exposure to certain auxin hormones, callus cells can be induced to form other tissues such as roots.

Indolbutyric acid is often used to promote the rooting of stakes. In a study in Camellia sinensis, the effect of three different auxins, indolbutyric acid, indolacetic acid and 1-naphthalenacetic acid on root formation was measured. According to the authors, indolbutyric acid produced a higher root yield compared to other auxins.9 This effect of indolbutyric acid is consistent with that found in other studies; This hormone is considered the most commonly used auxin for root formation, 10 because it is much more potent than indolacetic acid and other synthetic auxins.7

Jatropha curcas is a species in which there is an improvement in the quality of the rooting of the stakes with the addition of indolbutyric acid in the middle (longer root length, number of roots, percentage of rooted stakes, and dry root weight) , 11 although not always the effect on rooting is statistically significant.
