The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A recent study compared the Homo sapiensgenome with that of Neanderthals. The results of the study indicated that there was a mixing of the two genomes at some period in evolutionary history. What data were discovered that suggested this conclusion

A) some Neanderthal sequences not found in living humans

B) a few modern H. sapiens with some Neanderthal sequences

C) duplications of several Neanderthal genes on a Neanderthal chromosome

D) some Neanderthal chromosomes that are shorter than their counterparts in living humans

Answer:

B) a few modern H. sapiens with some Neanderthal sequences

Explanation:

The mixing of genomes of two species generally results in shared sequences and some common genetic traits in the descendants of these species. Mixing of genomes of <em>Homo sapiens</em> and Neanderthals would have resulted in the presence of some common gene sequences in their genomes. If the conclusion that the mixing of genomes of these two species has occurred is correct, some of the modern <em>Homo sapiens </em>should have the genome sequences that were otherwise present in the genomes of Neanderthals only but not in that of the <em>Homo sapiens</em>.

Which of these agricultural practices is sustainable?
Natalija [7]
B is unsustainable as this is a practice of intensive farming usually conducted indoors, and is resource and energy expensive. C is unsustainable because groundwater is a limited resource and groundwater can take 1000s of years to be recharged. D is unsustainable as this involves moving water across vast distances and is expensive and ecologically damaging. A is sustainable as drought-resistant plants would in the long run use less water.

Is DNA synthesized continually during the cell cycle
vagabundo [1.1K]
  <span>No 
DNA is synthesized in the middle part of Interphase, which is usually denoted S in the series G1 - S - G2  </span><span>"There are 3 stages of interphase: G1 in which the cell grows and functions normally. Once it grows too large it enters the synthesis (S) phase. In S phase the cell makes exact copies of its DNA. It is now ready for G2 phase where it makes sure all of its chromosomes and organelles are ready for mitosis."</span>
