The most distinctive feature of ape dentition, which clearly distinguishes apes from Old World monkeys, is a Y-5 molar pattern.

<h3>What is the Y-5 molar pattern?</h3>
  • This is a distinctive type of molar teeth pattern found in apes and hominoids.
  • In this, 5 cusps or raised surfaces are present on the grinding surface of teeth, roughly forming a Y- shape. Therefore, this is also known as Y-5 pattern.
  • Whereas Old world monkeys have only 4 cusps on their lower molars present in a bilophodont pattern.
  • A Y-5 molar is formed when the tooth is divided into different pieces which form the complete structure of the tooth.
  • In bilophodont pattern the tooth is divided into 2 symmetric sections.
  • The dental formula of apes is 2.1.2.3/2.1.2.3 i.e. 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, 3 molars.

Which describes HIV that causes AIDS?
ioda

B. answer is correct. HIV that causes AIDS has RNA instead of DNA.

HIV is actually a retro-virus.

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By damaging your immune system, HIV interferes with your body's ability to fight the organisms that cause disease. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lenti-virus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes HIV infection and over time acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

11. Why<br> are<br> organisms with more similar amino acid sequences more closely related?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer and Explanation:

Because the DNA sequence determines a protein's amino acid sequence, a gene shared by two closely related organisms should have similar, or even identical, amino acid sequences. That's because closely related species most likely diverged from one another fairly recently in the evolutionary span. Thus, they haven't had as much time to accumulate random mutations in their genetic codes.
