A scientist cites fossil evidence to argue that modern whales evolved from relatively small, land-dwelling mammals. The scientis

t claims that a variety of fossil findings can be ordered in a sequence that demonstrates the evolutionary lineage.
Which analysis of the fossils would be most useful to support the scientist's claim?

A. width and length measurements, which should be the same for homologous bones
B. mineralization analysis, which would identify the specific minerals in each fossils
C. radiometric dating, which would show the absolute age of each fossil
D. biogeography, which should show that all the species lived in the same region.

Answer: Scientists who study evolution may want to know whether two present-day species are closely related. Evidence for evolution can be structural, genetic, or bio geographical.  Fossil skeletons of horse relatives dating from various time periods. ... of fossils and living species may tell us how modern organisms evolved. so D

Which describes the process of cellular respiration?
True [87]

The process of cellular respiration catabolic pathway that breaks molecules into energy

<u>Explanation:</u>

Metabolic pathways consist of two distinct types: catabolic and anabolic. Catabolic deliver energy while breaking down molecules into easier molecules. Cellular respiration is one case of a catabolic pathway. During cellular respiration, sugar is held in by the cell and break to discharge energy that enables us to live.

Cellular respiration is the manner of oxidizing food particles, similar glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The method transpires in two states:

  • glycolysis, the division of glucose to pyruvic acid
  • the entire oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water

Which of the following statements about excision repair is correct?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

a. True, b. False, c.True, d. True

Explanation:

a. Base excision repair is started by a DNA glycosylase  that recognizes the changes and removes the altered base by cleavage of the glycosidic bond binding the base and the deoxyribose sugar together.

b. Nucleotide excision repair works by a cut-and patch mechanism that removes their heavy lesions, including pyrimidine dimers and nucleotides . Endonucleases are responsible for the lesion of the damaged strand.

c. Nucleotide excision repair  is initiated by the proteins namely UvrA, UvrC, and UvrB in Escherichia coli.

-UvrD (helicase II) later removes the damaged strand

-DNA polymerase I (PolI) fills in the resulting gap.

d. DNA glycolases removes the damaged nitrogenous base.

-It leaves the sugar-phosphate backbone intact and thus creating an  apurinic/apyrimidinic site, which is commonly referred to as an AP site.

e. Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A(XPA)

-This is an essential protein in the nucleotide excision repair pathway.

- It helps to make a pre-incision complex along with other proteins.
