Answer:

The best possible outcome for the cell in the event of mis-copied mRNA is for the mis-copied sequence to code for the same amino acid as the correct sequence would have done

Explanation: The process of transcription during which the message in DNA is transcribed as genetic codes into mRNA is sometimes not error proof. Synthesized mRNA is usually transported into the cytoplasm where the codes are translated into protein.

Each genetic code which is usually a sequence of 3 purine/pyrimidine bases codes for an amino acid. However, due to the degenerate nature of the genetic codes, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. The degenerate nature is caused by the fact that there are 64 possible codons and there are 20 amino acids in nature. For example, UUA, UUU and UUG can be coding for the same amino acid in nature.

Hence, if a mistake occur during transcription, the best possible scenario for the cell is that the mis-copied sequence will end up coding for the same amino acid(s) as the correct correct sequence would.

An island has many kinds of birds, no native species of snakes, and few large predators. Brown snakes eat bird eggs. What is the
olganol [36]

Boiga irregularis or brown snake is a slender, climbing snake with a vertical pupil and large eyes, providing it better nocturnal vision. The species has no natural predator. When the brown snake is accidentally released into the island, it will result in local extinction of the majority of the island's native lizard and bird species.

It will also result in cascading ecological influences by eradicating native pollinators, resulting in the corresponding reduction of the native plant species.

Hence, the correct answer will be fewer birds and more snakes.

Characters that provide evidence for evolutionary relationships based on shared ancestry are called ____.
Tom [10]

Answer:

Homologous characters

Explanation:

Homologous character is usually defined as those set of characters that are observed in various organisms and are similar to one another. It is because these organisms have obtained these characters from a common ancestor, having that same distinct characters.

The evolution that occurs in this type of organisms are commonly known as the homologous evolution, where the similarities between the organisms are found in terms of physiology, structure and/or other development, depending upon their common ancestors.
