Answer:
A. Student A because it requires a hypothesis
Question:All known organisms use genetic information to produce protein molecules via the same genetic code. This finding strongly supports the hypothesis that __________.
a) the earliest macromolecules probably arose when lightning struck an oxygen-free atmosphere
b) all organisms are descended from one or a few common ancestors
c) the genetic code readily evolves by natural selection
d) there's only one possible way to encode information in a macromolecule
Answer:
b) all organisms are descended from one or a few common ancestors
Explanation:
Protein synthesis occurs when the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes. A specific genetic code specifies the same amino acid in all living beings. For example, the code "UUU" codes for phenylalanine in all the living beings irrespective of their species. This suggests that all the life forms have originated from one or few common ancestors and the genetic code has been preserved during the course of evolution of various species.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
Fishes are aquatic vertebrates having scales, pharyngeal gill slits and paired fins. ... Most fish are ectothermic ("cold-blooded"), allowing their body temperatures to vary as ambient temperatures change. fishes have scales that covers the skin of fishes. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Answer:
The plateau region has endemic population of species and the change in the ecology impacts the climate and wildlife of the area.
Explanation:
- The Edwards plateau is located in the south, central and western taxes. It bounded by faults and uplands. It has a base made of limestone.
- The plateau is home to various diverse species of plants and animals. The plateau region consists of 41 counties in geographic regions. Currently, about 2.26% of the land area is under protection as this region has experienced habitat loss of 5.3%.
