Why is building cladograms using DNA more accurate than using outward appearances?

Biology
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A cladogram is a diagram used to show relations among organisms in cladistics. Cladograms were generated on the basis of DNA and RNA sequencing data, morphological characters and computational phylogenetics.

Cladogram helps to classify organisms on the basis of shared traits between the ancestors and its easy to find related ancestor from cladistics. cladistics also shows evolved characteristics of an organism and how they are related to their ancestors.

Whereas outward appearances cannot show the genetic changes occured in an organism and can provide wrong information about the ancestors.

Hence, Cladogram using DNA is more accurate than using outward appearances.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

No, a blood test could not eliminate the father.

Explanation:

The mother had B type blood, so the possible genotypes are BB and BI.  The father had A type blood, so the possible genotypes are AA and AI.  The child had O type blood, so the only possible genotype is II.  If the mother has the genotype BI and the father has the genotype AI, then there is a 25% chance the child will have the blood type O, or II (I used a punnet square with the genotypes BI and AI to solve this.)

Identify the type of mutation that occurred and explain in what way it affected the protien
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The type of mutation that occurs when in the DNA strand there is a change from guanine to cytosine is a nonsense mutation, since the triplet that should encode the amino acid encodes a stop codon and the protein cannot be completely synthesized.

Explanation:

The nonsense mutation consists of a change in one of the bases of the stranded DNA, which is transcribed into an altered mRNA, producing a stop codon, instead of an amino acid.

In the table it is observed that the CCA codon is a stop codon that cuts off the protein synthesis prematurely, leaving it incomplete and probably non-functional.

Sometimes this type of mutation can alter the sequence of amino acids but the protein may be complete enough to partially fulfill its function.
