Answer: The correct answer is -

C. bony fish.

The bony fish evolved into two distinct groups, which are Sarcopterygii that contains the lobe-finned fish and Actinopterygii that contains ray-finned fish

The lobe-finned fish further evolved and gave rise to the tetrapods (which are the vertebrates with four limbs), represented by amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

These lobe-finned fish evolved and developed multi-jointed leg, such as fins with digits, which helped them to crawl along the side of sea.

Thus, they resulted in the evolution of amphibians.

Therefore, option C) Bony fish is the right answer.

Scientists can use mutants to study metabolic pathways. These organisms have a mutation in a gene encoding a metabolic pathway e

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

(E) Phosphoglucose isomerase (phosphohexose isomerase or glucose-6-phosphate isomerase)

Explanation:

Glyocolysis is break down of glucose into pyruvate.

Isomerization:The second step of glycolysis involves the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate (F6P). This reaction occurs with the help of the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (PI). As the name of the enzyme suggests, this reaction involves an isomerization reaction.

Yeast mutant lacking phopshoglucose isomerase unable to performed this step and that's why it unable to grow in media containing glucose while in fructose break down this step is not required so it is able to grow in media containing fructose.

Deletion of phosphoglucose isomerase, prevents growth on glucose; therefore, phosphoglucose isomerase mutant is able to grown in a fructose medium.
