The question refers to the following table, which compares the percent sequence homology of four different parts (two introns an

d two exons) of a gene that is found in five different eukaryotic species. Each part is numbered to indicate its distance from the promoter (for example, Intron I is the one closest to the promoter). The data reported for species A were obtained by comparing DNA from one member of species A to another member of species A.
Regarding these sequence homology data, the principle of maximum parsimony would be applicable in ________. (A) distinguishing introns from exons (B) determining degree of sequence homology (C) selecting appropriate genes for comparison among species (D) inferring evolutionary relatedness from the number of sequence differences

The question refers to the following table, which compares the percent sequence homology of four different parts (two introns and two exons) of a gene that is found in five different eukaryotic species. Each part is numbered to indicate its distance from the promoter (for example, Intron I is the one closest to the promoter). The data reported for species A were obtained by comparing DNA from one member of species A to another member of species A.

Regarding these sequence homology data, The principle of maximum parsimony would be applicable in Inferring evolutionary relatedness from the number of sequence differences.

What is principle of maximum parsimony?
Maximum A phylogenetic t
ree can be inferred using the character-based method of parsimony by reducing the total number of evolutionary steps needed to explain a given set of data assigned to the leaves.

Generally speaking, the parsimony principle states that it is preferable to use the simplest explanation possible to explain the data. Parsimony in phylogenetic analysis refers to the notion that a relationship hypothesis that calls for the fewest character changes is more likely to be accurate.

Therefore,

The principle of maximum parsimony would be applicable in Inferring evolutionary relatedness from the number of sequence differences.

Please help!!!! very confused pt 2
Schach [20]

Answer:

If the genotype of the parents are <em>Iᵃi </em>and <em>I</em>ᵇ<em>i, </em>then four type of offspring will be produced.The genotype of the offspring are, <em>IᵃIᵇ, Iᵃi,Iᵇi, </em>and <em>ii.</em>

Explanation:

<em>IᵃIᵇ = </em>As the alleles are co-dominant in nature, so both type of alleles are expressed. The blood group will be AB. So, both A and B type of antigen will be found in plasma membrane of RBC.

<em>Iᵃi= </em>In this type of genotype only A type of antigen will be expressed in the membrane of RBC. The blood group will be A type.

<em>Iᵇi= </em>In this type of genotype only B type of antigen will be expressed in the membrane of RBC. The blood group will be B type.

<em>ii= </em>This is a recessive type of genotype. So, no antigen will be found on the membrane of the RBC. And the blood group will be O type.

The offspring's ratio will be 1:1:1:1.

Consider the mRNA wheel. mc022-1.jpg Which amino acid is coded for by the mRNA codon UAA? start codon stop codon Leu Asn
Temka [501]
Attached is an example of a mRNA wheel.

The codon UAA codes a stop codon. The mRNA wheel is read by starting to choose from the four letters at the centre the one that is the first in the codon. Then, on that quarter of the circle, choose from the four letters, the second in the codon. Repeat again the process for the 1/16 part you chose previously choosing now the last letter in the codon. You are now able to identify what is coded by the mRNA codon.
