<u>Transition fossils show</u><u> the presence of leglike structures, pointing to the possibility that the ancestors of </u><u>whale</u><u> and dolphins once lived on land.</u>

  • The cetaceans, which include whales, dolphins, and porpoises, are descended from land-dwelling mammals.
  • Traces of their terrestrial ancestry can still be seen in the bones of their fins, which resemble enormous, jointed hands, in their vertical spine movement, and in the fact that they must breathe air from the surface.

What is evidence that whales evolved from land mammals?

  • There are several indications from a whale's anatomy and biology indicating they originated on land.
  • They have paddle-shaped flippers that house hand bones with five "fingers," breathe air, and nurse their young with their own milk.
  • Whales have tiny back limbs as embryos, but these vanish before birth.

11111nata11111 [884]
The first three are the same as those found in DNA, but in RNA thymine is replaced by uracil as the base complementary to adenine. This base is also a pyrimidine and is very similar to thymine. Uracil is energetically less expensive to produce than thymine, which may account for its use in RNA.

How would a mistake in transcribing the DNA message affect your ability to catch the killer?
mel-nik [20]

Answer: When the DNA collected on the crime scene is being analysed in the forensic lab, the results will be inconclusive, because error in DNA transcription, particularly in mRNA encoding leads to inheritable phenotype change by reprogramming the transcriptional network, without changing the DNA. Transcription errors are brief with no long-term consequences. Due to mRNA being short-lived and the erroneous proteins are degraded. A decrease in transcription accuracy triggers cellular identity change.

Explanation: This is called epimutation, a heritable modification that results in the change of gene expression, but not the DNA sequence. Epimutation is not associated with DNA mutation, but is associated with the loss or gain of DNA methylation or other heritable changes of the chromatin.
