In a phylogenetic tree, the species which emerge from the same node are more closely related as compared to the other parallel species originating from the same ancestors but at a different node.
Hence, species A is more closely related to species B as compared to the relation between B and C. Option 5 is correct
Both the species B and E will share some characteristics as they have evolved from the same ancestors, though they do not emerge from the same node. Thus, option 4 is also correct.
Similarly A and C have some common characteristics. Thus, option 1 is correct
The correct answer is : * Membrane carbohydrates function primarily in cell-cell recognition.
Explanation:
The carbohydrates (poly or oligosaccharides) associated with the plasma membrane, are covalently bound to it (to proteins or lipids). They are found in the outer part of the plasma membrane forming the glycocalix. Its main functions are:
Fungi are heterotrophic (decomposers) and are often mistaken as a plant because its rooted in the soil. But what also makes them different from plants is that fungi don't do photosynthesis and not all fungi are multicellular.
