Imagine a genomic researcher who is analyzing the genome of different types of cats. She finds that a particular sequence in the

North American Bobcat genome is exactly homologous to a sequence found in the common house cat, while all other sequences in those two genomes differ at many nucleotides. (The most recent common ancestor between bobcats and house cats is estimated to be about 6.8 million years, plenty of time for mutation to generate DNA sequence variation.)
Which of the following could explain the identical sequence in these otherwise differing genomes?

01. The sequence encodes a ribosomal protein that is critical for life and can not be easily mutated while retaining function.

02. The sequence is contained in a virus that has infected germline cells in both species.

03. The sequence is from an intron of a gene that encodes a muscle protein.

Provide a rationale for why each of the three statements above are correct or incorrect.

OLEGan [10]

Answer: They lack nucleus and other organelles important for the synthesis of the enzyme.

Explanation:

The main function of the red blood cells is to supply oxygen throughout the body. The oxygen binds to the hemoglobin and travels throughout the body to ensure the supply of oxygen to various organs and more precisely the cells of the body.

The enzymes that is being synthesized inside the body is produced by the help of the gene and nucleus along with the other organelles involved in it.The mature red blood cells lack nucleus in order to increase the surface area for carrying the oxygen.

As there is no nucleus, mitochondria and golgi apparatus in the cell, there is no enzyme synthesis and broke down in the cell.
