Answer:
Species a and c
Explanation:
The species c, was more closely related to species a than species b was. This is because species a and c just recently evolved into different species in evolutionary history.
Answer:
The overall function of light-dependent reactions, the first stage of photosynthesis, is to convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of NADPH and ATP, which are used in light-independent reactions and fuel the assembly of sugar molecules.

Answer and Explanation:
The Huntington disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that codifies for the Huntingtin protein (Htt). The mutation produces an altered form of the protein leading to the neuron´s death in certain areas of the brain.
The Huntington disease characterizes for being,
- Hereditary, passing from generation to generation. To express the disease, a person must have been born with an altered gene.
- Autosomal, affecting men and women equally, because the mutated gene is located on an autosomal chromosome.
- Dominant, which means that by getting only one copy of the altered gene coming from any of the parents, the receiving person will express the disease. The mutation in the gene dominates over the normal gene copy.
- Expressed by heterozygosis. Most people affected by the disease are heterozygous, with a normal copy and a mutated copy.
There are just a few cases all around the world (3% approximately) in which the disease is expressed with no family history. The progenitors are not affected by the mutation. These cases are very rare and are called <u>"de-novo" mutations.</u> A new mutation is spontaneously produced and it is not inherited from any of the parentals. It consists of an increase in the number of CAG repetitions. In a normal person, the number of CAG repetitions is less than 35. When there are 40 or more repetitions it occurs the disease. But when there are between 35 and 39 repetitions, the penetrance of the disease is incomplete. This is a "gray zone". Those alleles that fall in the gray zone are unstable and might produce the HD. Individuals with these unstable alleles have a tendency to increase the number of repetitions from generation to generation until the number reaches 40 repetitions and the person expresses the disease. This <u>usually occurs in the paternal germinal line</u>, as it is particularly unstable in sperm and probably meiosis greatly affects their instability, causing an increase in the number of CAG repeats.

The male
human has a sperm cell and the female has an egg cell. The cells from the male
and female that combine to form a zygote are called gametes. The human sperm
and egg cells each contain 23 chromosomes. . A combination of gametes forms a
zygote with 46 chromosomes. The type of cell division that produces gametes
with half the normal chromosome number is the meiosis. Meiosis is the type of
cell division used in sexual reproduction. It will occur in the testes and
ovaries.<span>Chromosomes get
shuffled when eggs and sperm are made. Though most adult cells contain two sets
of chromosomes, sperm and egg cells are different. These special cells have
just one chromosome from each pair. Which chromosome they get from each pair is
random, making each sperm or egg cell unique. There is also a bit of mixing
before the chromosomes are sorted into individual sperm or egg cells.
Chromosomes from each pair in a mother or father, respectively, make contact
and exchange pieces of DNA, creating hybrid chromosomes. </span>
