Inversion of DNA sequences within chromosomes is a common process in evolution. The following gene arrangements in a particular

chromosome are found in four different species.
1st sequence STUVWX
2nd sequence UVXTSW
3rd sequence UVWSTX
4th sequence SWVUTX
1. Assuming that the arrangement in 1 is the original arrangement, in what evolutionary order did the four species arise, such that there is only one inversion between each species. (Place 1st sequence first in your ordering.)

Answer:

2, 3, 4, 1

Explanation:

Inversion of DNA sequences refers to the rearrangement of the sequences where a segment is reversed end to end.

For instance in order for the gene of species to have the sequence STUVWX

The order of evolution will be

  • sequence UVXTSW  will be the first sequence

When XTSW segment is inverted WSTX

  • sequence UVWSTX  will be the result of the inversion.

section UVWS is inverted to  SWVU

  • sequence SWVUTX is formed.

when WVUT undergoes inversion to TUVW

  • It becomes the original arrangement of STUVWX .

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Food storage

Explanation:

Stomach is a small pouch like structure which has the ability to store food temporarily.The storage of the food temporarily takes place in the stomach. The food that we eat reaches to the stomach by the help of food pipe.

Here, the food is stored until it is completely broken down into simpler form and enzymes act on them.

The food is then absorbed in the small intestine. But before this food is temporarily stored in the stomach where all the digestive juices and enzymes come to act on the food.

If Darwin knew of Mendel’s work, how might it have influenced his theory of evolution? Do you think this would have affected how
Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Darwin proposed his theory of evolution on the premise of natural selection. According to him, organisms which possess favourable characteristics which enable them to survive in their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on these favourable characteristics to their offsprings.

According to Mendel, the unit of inheritance passed on from parents to offspring are genes. Hence Darwin's factors are Mendel's genes.

If Darwin knew of Mendel's work. It might have influenced his presentation of the idea of passing on favourable characteristics from parents to offspring in the light of genetics.

This would have made Darwin's work to have more empirical backing hence making it more widely accepted.

They use a internal pouch which is named swim bladder.




Explanation; Oxygen will enter a fish’s mouth, and passes through their gills. The oxygen will be taken and gets carried by hemoglobin through their bloodstream. Hemoglobin will take out some of the oxygen into their swim bladder. The amount of oxygen will show if they will sink or rise. Your question is how do they rise. If he goes up too much, the meaning of this is when the gas diffuses into their blood and out the gills.




Got this from a writing, but rephrased it.
