In a cladogram (a type of phylogenetic tree), clades are groups of related organisms. In the past, phylogenetic lists built clad

es using the idea of parsimony, that the pattern that uses the fewest evolutionary changes is the most likely to be correct. Today, with the use of computers and DNA sequences, the explanation that is thought to be the best is ___________ .

Answer:

one with the fewest number of genetic differences in the nucleotide sequence.

Explanation:

A cladogram is a diagram capable of showing the relationships among different species and/or group of organisms. In a cladogram, the root indicates the common ancestor, while internal nodes represent the common ancestors of each group. In consequence, this diagram can be used to establish evolutionary relationships in which the start branch points represent common ancestors shared by the organisms found in the 'branches'. Nonetheless, the length of the branches in the cladogram does not represent evolutionary distances among groups. In recent years, cladograms based on DNA sequencing data have been combined with morphological data to establish evolutionary relationships among species.

Exposure to teratogens after organogenesis is complete may most likely result in select one:
Ivenika [448]

The teratogens can be defined as any physical, chemical, or infections agents that have the ability to penetrate the protective layers of the embryo, and affect its viability. The overall development and the development of the different organ systems might be affected because of these teratogens. When the embryo is exposed to the teratogens after the organogenesis is complete, it is most likely that the fetus will suffer from the stunted growth. When the organogenesis is complete, the organs are already formed, and hence, no severe damage can occur to them. Down's syndrome will result if the chromosomal abnormality occur in the fetus, which is not likely after the organogenesis is already complete. Any kind of severe anatomical defects are also least likely after organogenesis is completed. Therefore, the chances of having stunted growth are high.

What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploidy are caused? What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploid
sleet_krkn [62]

The correct answer is:

The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species.  

Aneuploidy is a phenomenon when there is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell (an extra or missing chromosome). Usually it appears as a result of improper cell division (chromosomes don’t separate) and it can cause many genetic disorders.

Polyploidy refers to a state when there are more than two sets of chromosomes (one from mother one from father). Triploid (three sets of chromosomes) and tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes) chromosomes are examples of polyploidy. This phenomenon is most common in plants.

Nearly all eukaryotic cells contain a class of small, round organelles that contain oxidative enzymes. The enzymes break down or
Ivenika [448]

The correct answer is peroxisomes.  

Peroxisome refers to a small organelle found in the cytoplasm of various cells that comprises catalase (the reducing enzyme) and generally some oxidases.  

They are the minute vesicles and comprises the digestive enzymes used for dissociating toxic components in the cell. They are not similar to lysosomes on the basis of the kind of enzymes they withheld. The peroxisomes generally contain enzymes that need oxygen, that is, oxidative enzymes.
