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.

Identify the stages of the cell cycle using the drop-down menus. Label A-E
Ostrovityanka [42]

Picture attached

Answer:

A - G1 phase

B - G2 phase

C - S phase

D - Mitosis

E - Interphase

Explanation:

Interphase is all the parts of the cell cycle excluding mitosis, and encompasses G1, S, and G2 phases. Cells spend most of their lives in interphase

G1 is the first gap phase, where the cell is growing and making checks in preparation for mitosis. During S phase (the synthesis phase), the DNA is replicated. This is so a full copy of the DNA can be passed on to the daughter cells.

During the G2 phase, the final checks are made before the cell undergoes mitosis, which is where the cell divides.

Harrizon [31]
The separation of visible light into its different colors is known as dispersion. It was mentioned in the Light and Color unit that each color is characteristic of a distinct wave frequency; and different frequencies of light waves will bend varying amounts upon passage through a prism.
