Answer:Organisms with identical or very similar orthologous genes belong to the same phylotype.

Explanation:

A gene is a unit of heredity which is made up of DNA( deoxyribonucleic acid). The genetic make up of an individual determines it's appearance, it's survival, it's behavior in its environment. As organisms diverge, orthologous genes retain their function yet change over evolutionary times.

Phylotypic organisms that has similar orthologous genes are made up of genes in different species that originated by vertical descent from a single gene of the last common ancestor. This can be detected by collecting all the genes in two species and comparing them all to one another. If genes from two species identify each other as their closest partners then they are considered orthologs.

Why do you think the snapper population changed the way it did?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Snapper population is decreasing

Explanation:

Flura [38]

Answer:

The answer is C. The cell took in another ancient prokaryotic cell, which began living inside it.

Explanation:

  • The Endosymbiont Theory explains the evolution of membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts.
  • According to the theory, mitochondria evolved when an ameoba like organism engulfed bacteria capable of cellular respiration.
  • Similarly, chloroplasts were developed when the ameoba like organism engulfed cyanobacteria or blue-green algae capable of photosynthesis.
  • These organisms survived inside the ameoba over millions of years to develop into mitochondria and chloroplasts.
  • The fact that mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular DNA and ribosomes is evidence of the endosymbiont theory.

The scientific names of sea teak and weeping willow plants are Podocarpus polystachyus and Salix babylonica.

  • The leaves of both these plants are simple regardless of their receptive compound appearance. This is due to the presence of complex vein structure on the leaf.

2. Answer:

<u>There many differences between sea teak leaf and weeping willow leaf.</u>

Sea teak leaf is 3-10 cm long while weeping willow leaf is only 6 cm long.  

Sea teak leaves are bright green and shiny while weeping willow leaves are green at top and white at the bottom.

<em>The bark of weeping willow can be used to obtain various medicines. Meanwhile, the leaves of sea teak plants are chewed to ease pain of joints. </em>
