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.

if we looked at weather balloon data taken at 12:00 noon instead of 12:00 midnight, what do you think we would see in that data?
Gemiola [76]
“Remember, we are ultimately trying to explain how hailstorms form. We now know the air is colder higher up in the atmosphere than it is near the ground, which helps us understand where it might be cold enough for hailstones to form.
Our next step is to figure out why the air up high is colder. Based on what we have figured out from the weather balloon data, if we gathered more data by moving closer to the ground, what do you think we would see in that data?
In addition, if we looked at weather balloon data taken at 12:00 noon instead of 12:00 midnight, what do you think we would see in that data?
Do you think we would see the same patterns? Why or why not?” Hope this helps if not write in the comments maybe I will be able to find other answers that might help you. If helped mark me the brainiest!! THESE ARE QUOTES DO NOT COPY ITS IS PLAGIARISM!!
