Solution:

In phylogenetic inference, an evolutionary novelty (or derived character) is referred to as Plesiomorphy

Relating to or denoting the process by which different kinds of living organisms are believed to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth.

Thus this is the required answer.

In phylogenetic inference, an evolutionary novelty (or derived character) is referred to as apomorphy. Apomorphy is any character, state or trait novel to a species and its descendants. An apomorphy occurs when a taxon is selected to have a particular trait.

Although DNA is made up of only four different bases, it can encode the information necessary to specify the workings of an enti

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Because DNA molecules are extremely long.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is made up of only four types of nucleotides that are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. These four types of nucleotide encode all the information necessary for the formation and working of the entire organism because each DNA strand is as long as 2 meter which contains millions of base pairs.

The four nucleotides are arranged in the DNA strand with many different combinations which results in the formation of codons sequence that contains all the information about the cell. This long DNA is compressed several times to fit in the nucleus.

1. Most familiar life forms live in regions of biomes that humans inhabit. (1 point)

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1. The first statement is true. A biome is defined as a large set of naturally occurring plants and animals occupying a major habitat. For e.g. forest, dessert, grasslands etc.

2. The given statement is True. Biodiversity is defined as the variety of plants and animals exists or existed in the world or in any specific habitat. The high level of biodiversity is important and beneficial for the environment.

3. This statement is False. Outside force such as earthquake, zone hole etc can certainly cause changes in the organism. For example, UV rays can cause cancer in an organism, dark colorization of peppered moth during industrial revolution.

4. It is True as species is defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreed and share common characteristics. It is the basic unit of biological classification. For example, <em>sapiens </em>is the species of human being.

5. Yes, the given statement is true. Charles Robert Darwin famous naturalist, biologist, and geologist. He was best known for his work in the field of evolution and gave the theory of natural selection. He is also known as the father of evolution.

6. No, all scientists were not agreed with Charles Darwin, for example, Lamarck, Weismann etc. However, Neo-Darwinism was much more accepted that Darwin original theory. Hence, the given statement is false.

7. Natural selection is one of the process of evolution. It sates that organisms better suited and adapted to their environment have better chances of survival. Organisms acquire new characteristics over the generations in order to adapt in a environment. Hence, the given statement is false.

8. The statement is true. However, recently it has been found that there are some bacteria which can inhabit the extreme conditions. They are known as extremophiles, for example, halophiles, thermophiles etc.

9. Yes the statement is true. These organisms are known as extremophiles, for example, halophiles (which live in high saline conditions), thermophiles (can live in high temperatures) etc.

10. This statement is false as there are many species which have not been discovered yet.

Why is it important that root hair cells have high ion concentration?

andre [41]

Root hair cells are adapted for taking up water and mineral ions by having a large surface area to increase the rate of absorption. They also contain lots of mitochondria , which release energy from glucose during respiration in order to provide the energy needed for active transport.
