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.

Which statement describes the current theory about the relationship between the human population and mass extinction? The human
Flauer [41]
<span>The human population is increasing, so the likelihood of a mass extinction is also increasing.

The human population is increasing, and historically, as human population has increased, species have gone extinct. As human population increases, and also destroy more habitats to pay for higher standards of living, the probability of mass extinction increases. </span>

When can the phenomena afterglow be seen?​
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<h3>The afterglow is an intense red glow of the atmosphere long after sunset (or long before sunrise), when most twilight colors should have disappeared. The afterglow is caused by dust in the high stratosphere, which catches the hues of the twilight arch below the horizon.</h3>
