Mitochondrial DNA mutation occurs at a constant rate throughout history. Thus, each different base in Mitochondrial DNA is able to show just how long ago the 2 species diverged from each other.
Hope this helps! :)

Which of the following investigators was (were) responsible for the following discovery? In DNA from any species, the amount of
Zarrin [17]

Answer :Erwin Chargaff   a Biochemist

Explanation:

He formulated the base paring of double helix of DNA. He reasoned that since the percentage of four  DNA  bases are of this proportions in human;

                                  Adenine=30.9% and Thymine =29.4%;

                                  Guanine=19.9% and Cytosine =19.8%

Then,  the amount of adenine will always be equal to thymine,

And the amount of Guanine equals to cytosine based on this percentages of distribution.  

(Adenine and Guanine are large, molecule of Purines, while thymine and Cytosine are Pyrimidine)  

 

He concluded (although scientist believed, he did not explicitly stated this) that this should be the base paring patterns in DNA molecule. This is the first Chargaff Rule.

His second rule is that the DNA composition, in the relative amount of the four bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine varies in proportion from one organisms to another. And this is the basis of molecular diversity.

Select all that apply. Which of the following are not properties of enzymes
AlladinOne [14]
Enzymes are proteins that are biological catalysts

They reduce the activation energy required for a reaction to occur and thus speed up a reaction

Temperature, above a certain point (optimum temperature) causes them to break down and they are gradually destroyed (denaturing)

They work best at a particular pH (optimum pH) and are once again destroyed by low or high pH's

They have a specific shape, with one particular part, known as the active site, that is specific to the substrate they speed the reaction of. These means they are specific to one type of reaction.

They aren't used in the reaction so they're re-usable.

If it isn't one of these then it is not one of the properties of enzymes

Predict how doubling the length of the sides of a cube-shaped cell would affect
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Increasing the size of the cube-shaped cell increases the volume. However, the surface area-to-volume ratio decreases. This means that the simple diffusion would take more time distribute nutrients across the cell (and even in the eliminate waste). It would need bulk transport such as vesicle transport, otherwise cell activities would slow down.
