Answer:

Duplication of hox genes is important in the radiation of animals because they are regulating genes of symmetry and the body plan of the animals' bodies. Some change or mutation in these genes during duplication can cause mutations and with these evolution of the species as it controls the different segments of these animals as they develop, launching the genetic programs that form various body structures, such as limbs and organs. .

Which of the following is a species?

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

e. All of the above are considered species under at least one species concept.

Explanation:

All of the abovementioned conditions satisfy at least one condition of species definition. Further arguments are given below to support each statement,

a. A species is the monophyletic group of individuals who has a common ancestor which could be distinguished from the closest phylogenetic relative based on conserved genes (16S in bacteria and 18S in eukaryotes). In the statement above, beetles satisfy this condition.

b. A species is the group of individuals that are capable of exchanging genes or can interbreed. In the above statement, birds who are interbreeding with each other must be a single species.

c. A metapopulation is generically defined as the group of populations who are separated by space but are the same species according to phylogenetic analysis. Thus, the metapopulation of salamanders who are linked by gene flow (gene migration) should be treated as one species.

d. The word "lineage" already conveys the message that these bacteria belong share sample place in the phylogenetic tree and they are capable to adapt the same environmental niche. Therefore, they should be considered as one species. This can be easily tested via 16S rRNA sequencing.

The concentration of nitrates is often higher in

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

(2) diffusion

Explanation:

Diffusion is a process in which molecules moves from a region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. In this condition, plant roots contain high concentration of nitrates than soil so nitrates moves from roots through semi-permeable to the soil by the action of diffusion until the concentration is uniform or equilibrium.
