Answer:

The the above statements are true about out groups.

Explanation:

a. Out groups called as the more related organism that determine the evolution of the in group traits.

Plesiomorphy means the ancestral character that determines the phylogenetic evolution of an individual.For example, presence of spinal column is a plesiomorphic character of mammals that are present in fish, amphibia,reptiles, birds etc.

b. In groups are diverge from the out group but the out groups are used as a point to compare with the in groups as it is essential to determine the evolution of a trait in a phylogeny.

c. Autapomorphic traits contain distinctive characters that is unique and found in a particular taxa but not found in a any other out group taxa.

d.Out groups are less evolved as they contain ancestral features and during evolution they are replaced by advance characters that are presently in in group traits.Out group study is required to study the evolutionary relationship of the in group trait.

Frogs go through metamorphosis.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Nimfa-mama [501]
That statement is true. When a frog hatches from the egg, a fish like creature called a tadpole emerges. As the tadpole grow, lungs and legs grow, and the gills and tail "absorb," into the body. After that, the now frog creatures spends most time on land. Hope that helped! Vote this as the brainliest answer please!

"Generally describe the series of events via which pyruvate is further processed after glycolysis (assume that this is in the pr
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The product of glycolysis is two molecules of pyruvate. It is a three-carbon compound. This pyruvate again undergoes oxidation in the cytoplasm. This process is called pyruvate oxidation which produces Acetyl CoA. The Acetyl CoA is a two-carbon molecule.

Acetyl CoA again used for the citric acid cycle. This is also called as Kreb's cycle / TCA cycle. Because citric acid has 3 carboxylic groups. The acetyl coenzyme produces NADH, FADH2, ATP. The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial membrane. This is an 8 step process. The first product is citric acid. The other products of each step are isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, succinate, Fumarate, L - malate, and Oxaloacetate (OAA).

Another process of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain ( ETS). Here the energy stored in NADH, FADH2 in the citric acid cycle are utilized. It is a chain of electron carriers. ETS occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria.  

In short, the glucose splits by glycolysis and produces ATP, NADPH, and final product pyruvate. The pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetyle coenzyme. This is used in the TCA / citric acid cycle. In this process also NADH, FADH2 which forms electrons are produced. Theses electrons are carried by different electron carriers and accepted by oxygen.

In the process of pyruvate oxidation 6 ATP, and in Kreb's cycle 18 ATPs, in ETS, 4 ATPs are produced. In addition to this in glycolysis produces 4 ATPs. The total number of ATP in aerobic respiration is 32 ATP.

Which of the following statements about the functional consequences of single base-pair mutations are TRUE? Select the three cor
Alchen [17]

Answer:

these statements are true

B) Insertions or deletions of single base-pairs within a protein coding sequence probably change the amino acid sequence

D) Missense mutations always change the amino acid sequence encoded by a gene

E) Nucleotide substitutions outside of the coding sequence can affect the expression of a gene.

Explanation:

B) insertion or deletion of nucleotide in coding region of DNA can change the amino acid sequence encoded.

D) missense mutation means that the change in nucleotide sequence resulting in change in amino acid sequence encoded by gene.

E) A mutation may alter the promoter of a gene, thereby affecting the rate of transcription.
