rewona [7]3 years ago

The evolution of molecular biology has made possible to establish a new classification of all organisms according to their DNA, and it's called phylogenetic classification.This classification groups living beings according to their kinship, established according to anatomical, physiological and behavioral criteria and especially genetic, based on the similarity of genes between species.
This made it possible to discover kinship ties between species of which there is no suspicion of any morphological link between them, something which the old classification (the traditional classification) was incapable of doing (and this proves the importance of the DNA and genes in organisms classification.

Read the passage. What is the claim?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

<em>Hello There. the Correct answer to this is This drug helps people lose more weight than diet and exercise alone. The reason for this statement is that with diet and exercise alone, 23% lost weight whereas with diet, exercise and the drug, 48% lost weight so the conclusion is that the drug enhanced weight loss. As a personal comment, the trouble with synthetic drugs is that there are usually side effects so that avoiding the drugs also avoids side effects so therefore I think it is best to find the right diet and exercise that actually lowers weight or take a vitamin or herb supplement to help with this. </em>

Hope it helps!
