Answer:

I hope this helped I reshearsed and did my thinking here a handful help need more help call me at 4076321760

Step-by-step explanation:

How the enormous structural and functional diversity of new genes and proteins was generated (estimated to be 1010–1012 different proteins in all organisms on earth [Choi I-G, Kim S-H. 2006. Evolution of protein structural classes and protein sequence families. Proc Natl Acad Sci 103: 14056–14061] is a central biological question that has a long and rich history. Extensive work during the last 80 years have shown that new genes that play important roles in lineage-specific phenotypes and adaptation can originate through a multitude of different mechanisms, including duplication, lateral gene transfer, gene fusion/fission, and de novo origination. In this review, we focus on two main processes as generators of new functions: evolution of new genes by duplication and divergence of pre-existing genes and de novo gene origination in which a whole protein-coding gene evolves from a noncoding sequence.

How new genes emerge and functionally diversify are very fundamental questions in biology, as new genes provide the raw material for evolutionary innovation that allows organisms to adapt, increase in complexity, and form new species. An organism can acquire new genes through at least three distinct, but potentially overlapping, mechanisms (Fig. 1). Thus, a pre-existing gene can be transferred ready made from another organism by lateral gene transfer (via transformation, transduction, and conjugation), or it can evolve by modification of an already existing gene (by duplication–divergence or gene fusion/fission) or it can be generated de novo from noncoding DNA. It is clear that these mechanisms have generated the diversity of genes and proteins that underlies the existence of all organisms, but their relative importance in new gene evolution and functional diversification is unclear. Thus, their importance will depend on several factors, including the organism and gene studied, the time scales involved (e.g., over recent time scales in the majority of eubacteria lateral gene transfer is a more dominant process than the others), and the methodological problems associated with an unambiguous identification of a gene emerging within an organism (a paralog) or being imported from another organism (a xenolog). In this article, we will focus on the roles of the two latter processes (gene duplication–divergence and de novo origination) as generators of new genes, mainly because they address the basic question of how new genes actually emerge (rather than how functional genes are transferred).

6.perimeter of the given shape above is
avanturin [10]
The answer is B.

One side is 14 feet and the other is 6. Since it is a rectangle and a rectangle has four sides, we need to take 14 and multiply it by 2. That will get us 28. Same thing apply for the other side. 6 multiplied by 2 is 12. And if we take our 2 numbers which are 28 and 12 and we add them up, our Perimeter is 40.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to rate my answer as well as maybe give it a "Thanks"? (Or even better a "Brainliest"). And if it’s not correct, I am sorry for wasting your time, and good luck finding the correct answer :)

Jason owns a small business selling bagels. He knows that in the last week 45 customers paid cash, 8 customers used a debit card
tatuchka [14]

The probability that the next customer will pay with cash is 0.76

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

Formula to find the probability of an event is:

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

where;

n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes of an event A

n(S) is the total number of outcomes for an experiment/survey

We are given that;

45 customers paid cash

8 customers used a debit card

6 customers used a credit card.

Thus, the total number of customers:

n(S) = 45 + 8 + 6

n(S) = 59

Let event A be the event that the next customer will pay with cash. Thus, n(A) = 45

Therefore, the probability that the next customer will pay with cash would be;

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

P(A) = 45/59

P(A) = 0.76
