A cladogram is a diagram used to represent a hypothetical relationship between groups of animals, called a phylogeny.
In this set of examples the answer is:
D) The lamprey does not have a vertical column
Lampreys have a notochord that remains throughout life, but they have primitive vertebrae made of cartilage. Lampreys have vertebral arches, but nothing resembling the vertebral bodies found in all higher vertebrates. Even the arches are discontinuous, consisting of separate pieces of arch-shaped cartilage around the spinal cord in most parts of the body, changing to long strips of cartilage above and below in the tail region.
The correct answer is D. Hope this helps :)
Answer: Antibiotics targets the synthesis of protein, nucleic acid, folate and cell wall.
1. Synthesis of protein; antibiotics binds to either 30s or 50s ribosomal subunits blocking the polypeptide from the exiting the tunnel thus inhibiting a full completion of protein expression or production.
2. Nucleic acid synthesis; Antibiotics also act by inhibiting genetic expression, DNA transcription and replication where DNA makes exact copies of itself, as well as RNA molecules preventing bacterial growth.
3. Cell wall synthesis; Inhibition of cell wall synthesis in microorganisms will prevent it from replication and growth.
4. Folate synthesis; Folic acid also known as vitamin B9 helps in DNA replication and cell division. Folate antagonists such as aminopterin kills bacteria by preventing folic acid production required for DNA replication.
Answer:
The correct answer is E. Arachidonic acid is the raw material for synthesis of eicosanoids.
Explanation:
Arachidonic acid is an essential omega-6 fatty acid formed by a 20-carbon chain with four double bonds. The presence of double bonds causes this molecule to have several sites that can be oxidized, allowing the formation of different lipids with different biological activities.
Arachidonic acid is part of phospholipids in cell membranes, and is the precursor of eicosanoid biosynthesis. Arachidonic acid can be synthesized from linoleic acid, one of the essential fatty acids required by most mammals.
