Answer:

Somatic mutations : option (A) and option (D).

Inherited mutations : option (B) and option (C).

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in the genetic material due to alterations in DNA sequence. Mutations may be somatic or inherited (or germline).

Somatic mutations are those mutations that arise in somatic or normal body cells and cannot transfer from parents to their offspring. As skins cells and lung cells are somatic cells, option (A) and (D) represent somatic mutations.

Inherited mutations are those mutations that arise in sex cells (gamete forming cell) and transfer from parents to their offspring due to transfer as these cells form mutated gametes. As egg cells and sperms cells are sex cells, option (B) and (C) represent inherited mutations.

Based on the data in Table 1, identify the animal that has the greatest number of sequence differences from the reference animal

Doss [256]

Answer:

( please like and hope it helps)

A) Elephas-2 has 13 sequence differences from the reference animal, and this is the greatest number of animals in the table.

B) From left to right, the order at the tips of the cladogram is: Dugong , Elephas , Loxodonta , Mammathus.

(Loxodonta and Mammuthus can also be reversed)

C) The molecular data, such as that for are widely conserved protein such as cytochrome b , show conserved similarities between organisms such as to dugongs and proboscideans and can be used to support the existence of this relationship.

D) The animals that are related ones had a common assister with certain genetic characteristics. Adaptation to different habitats leads to diversification of morphology but does not change evolutionary relationships.
