The correct answer is - oranges take a long time to grow.

The orange tree is a tree needs several years in order for it to be able to develop a fruit, usually three to four years, though it will produce only few fruits in that period, and will only produce more after the tenth year when the tree is fully matured.

The fruit itself also takes a while to mature, pretty much a whole year. So when the friends of Molly say that she is not living sustainable lifestyle it is because she eats oranges all the time, though they are only harvested in one particular part of the year, and it is a long process, referring to that the she uses more than a tree can produce.

The correct terms for the given blanks are-

You can think of the GENOME as life's instruction manual.

Genes are the SENTENCES in life's institution manual.

DNA is the ALPHABET in life's instruction manual.

Chromosomes are the CHAPTERS in life's instruction manual.

Nucleotides are the LETTERS in life's instruction manual.

Genome

is an organism's complete set of genetic instructions or genetic information.
It consists of chromosomes that has nucleotide sequences of DNA

It contains all of the information needed to build that organism and allow it to grow and develop

Genes:

The basic unit of heredity occupies a specific location on a chromosome.
consists of DNA, code for a specific protein leading to a particular characteristic.

DNA:

functional and heredity unit
made of nucleotides

Chromosomes:

A complex molecule made of protein and genes
stores information has genes like beads on strings.

Nucleotide:

unit of nucleic acid or DNA

coding parts
has four bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

Thus, the correct terms are:

You can think of the GENOME as life's instruction manual.

Genes are the SENTENCES in life's institution manual.

DNA is the ALPHABET in life's instruction manual.

Chromosomes are the CHAPTERS in life's instruction manual.

In deducing the evolutionary relationships among dogs, do you think it would be better to use a sequence that is neutral or one

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

a neutral marker

Explanation:

A gene polymorphism can be defined as the existence of two or more variants of the same gene (i.e., alleles). A polymorphism may be a difference of one nucleotide base in DNA (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) or indels (i.e., insertions and deletions). A gene under selection will have many polymorphisms in its sequence which may lead to convergence and disproportionate divergence among sequences, and thereby will be uninformative to trace the evolutionary history among individuals within a species, population, etc. Conversely, neutral molecular markers exhibit fewer nucleotide differences, it is for that reason that they are commonly used to determine genetic population structure among individuals.
