Answer:

Option B, Snakes and lizards share a common ancestor.

Explanation:

From the description provided, it is clear that both the lizard and snake (including pythons) have evolved from the same ancestors which had hind legs. Since both the organism (i.e lizard and snake) underwent evolution (differently) for million of years such that the hind legs in lizard are visible and used even today but the hind legs in snakes are buried in  muscles toward their tail ends and are not used. Such features which are not used at all or are poorly used are called as vestigial organs.

Hence, option B is correct

The genes R, E and D are independently assorting and control production of red pigment as follows (recessive alleles are not fun
Alona [7]

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

An individual must have all three dominant alleles to be red, in homozygosis or heterozygosis (R_E_D_).

<u>The parental cross was:</u>

RREEDD x rreedd

F1: RrEeDd

<u>The test cross</u> is between the RrEeDd indiviudals and homozygous recessive rreedd.

The genes assort independently, so we can use Mendel's law of segregation to predict separately for each gene the proportion of the offspring that will have the dominant alleles.

<h3><u>Rr x rr</u></h3>

1/2 Rr

1/2 rr

<h3><u>Ee x ee</u></h3>

1/2 Ee

1/2 ee

<h3><u>Dd x dd</u></h3>

1/2 Dd

1/2 dd

Genes are independent, so the probability of having a R_E_D_ offpsring is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of having a dominant allele for each gene:

1/2 (Rr) × 1/2 (Ee) × 1/2 (Dd)= 1/8

Which of these actions is the best way for an individual to conserve water?
BigorU [14]

Answer: B. Take short showers instead of baths.

Explanation:

The water is the most important non-living environmental factor which is the main requirement for survival of every living being. Even though water is a renewable resource which can be replenish by the mode of water cycling in nature but with the increase in the global population the demand of freshwater has increased. Also with the increase in the causes and sources of water pollution the levels of freshwater sources are decreasing. Therefore, the issues of water conservation should be taken into consideration.

According to the given situation, if an individual needs to conserve water, take short showers instead of baths is the correct option because of the fact that short showers will prevents the wastage of large amount of water which could be wasted while taking baths.

A mutation occurs in which a base (T) is inserted into the DNA sequence after the G, at the position marked with an asterisk, be
Zarrin [17]

A mutation which occurs when a base is introduced into the DNA sequence before transcription begins will lead to frame-shift of a single base on the DNA sequence resulting in nonfunctional protein from the transcribed mRNA.

Explanation:

This change either through addition or deletion of a single base in the codon sequences of the DNA will modify the amino acid codes and will result in nonfunctional proteins after transcription.

This mutation will just result in change of a single base, i.e., it would be added either to the enhancer region or the silencer region of the sequence before the promoter which initiates transcription.

The mRNA produced due to mutated DNA sequence after the deletion or insertion point will be read as out of frame thus resulting in nonsense protein.
