A scientist focusing on the evolutionary history of specific significant traits is engaged in cladistics.

Cladistics is a method of biological classification in which organisms (plants and animals) are grouped based upon shared significant derived characteristics (synapomorphies). Cladistics identifies various significant shared traits that can be traced to the most recent common ancestor of a group of species and that are not found in more distant groups and ancestors. Cladistics uses various anatomical, molecular and genetic characteristics of organisms.

Answer:

Primitive Earth where life emerged was subjected to extreme conditions  

Explanation:

The origin of life is still an issue of intense debate today, although most researchers believe that life emerged from primitive organisms generated by the synthesis of organic compounds in early Earth. In line with this theory, it has been shown that membrane-forming compounds can be formed in extreme conditions (i.e., UV rays, extreme temperature, etc). It is believed that such conditions recreated in a laboratory were similar to the early Earth about 3,900 million years ago, thereby supporting the idea of the 'primordial soup theory' proposed by John Burdon Sanderson Haldane in 1929.

What is a recombination? How is it different from mutation
8_murik_8 [283]
Recombination
: the process occurring in Meiosis I, in which offspring are able to obtain unique traits resulting in an array of different phenotypes (physical appearances).

Prophase I,
the homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and exchange segments of alleles, and then lining up in the cell in a NON-uniform way.... therefore resulting in genetically unique offsprings rather than identitical.


Mutations are result of evolutionary factors. They create genetic diversity that helps species adjust to different climates, behaviours and foods. Mutations that occur in a fit indivual can result in offspring that are genetically more successful in adjustments to different climates, foods, and environments.


All in all Recombination results in unique looking indivuals, whereas mutations result in greater survival chances of a species.

Name the smallest cell
telo118 [61]

Mycoplasma gallicepticum, a parasitic bacterium which lives in the primate bladder, waste disposal organs, genital, and respiratory tracts, is thought to be the smallest known organism capable of independent growth and reproduction. The cell in the work is known as mycoplasma. Its diameter is 0.0001 mm.

In which of the cell types can we find plasmodoomata
yarga [219]
Plasmodesmata is found in plant cells, and is the point where two cell walls of the plants meet, making  a pathway were they can exchange substances between them- called a plasmodesmata. You can say they act as channels between the cells to allow exchange and communication!
 
Hope this Helps!! :)
