Image is not avilable fo rthe question. The image is attached below:

The phylogenetic tree shown here displays the major clades of chordates.

Which statements about the phylogenetic tree are true?

A) Organism (c) is a common ancestor of lampreys and lungfishes.

B) Birds and ray-finned fishes have a notochord and jaws.

C) Lancelets and coelacanths are more closely related than are chimaeras and coelacanths.

D) Mammals and turtles are more closely related than are lungfishes and sharks.

E) Rays and frogs have vertebrae.

F) Descendants of organism (d) have limbs with digits.

G) Hagfishes, lungfishes, and frogs have lobed fins.

H) Organism (a) is a common ancestor of all chordates.

Answer:

B, D, F, E, H.

Explanation:

A phylogenetic tree is a diagram representing evolutionary relations between species. Phylogenetic trees are not conclusive evidence nor theories. In a phylogenetic tree the pattern of branching illustrates how organisms or other groups developed from a set of similar ancestors.

Some of the examples of phylogenetic tree are as following:

  • A notochord and jaws includes in birds and ray-finned fishes.  
  • Mammals and tortoises are closer to one another than lungfish and sharks are.  
  • Organic Descendants (d) have wings.  
  • Rays and frogs are columned vertebrally.  
  • A shared ancestor of all chordates is the organism (a).

Hence, the true options are B, D, F, E, H.

Answer:

A. His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.

Explanation:

Pyruvate is from the breakdown of carbohydrates such as glucose through glycolysis. Glucose enters the cytosol through specific transporters (the GLUT family) and is processed by one of several pathways depending on cellular requirements. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a limited amount of ATP, but the end product is two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate, which maybe diverted again into many pathways depending on the requirements of the cell. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate is primarily transported into the mitochondrial matrix and converted to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and carbon dioxide by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC).

Initially it was proposed that pyruvate was able to cross the membrane in its undissociated (acid) form but evaluation of its biochemical properties show that it is largely in its ionic form within the cell and should therefore require a transporter.

Transport of pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to be easily accomplished via large non-selective channels such as voltage-dependent anion channels/porin, which enable passive diffusion. Indeed, deficiencies in these channels have been suggested to block pyruvate metabolism
