You compare homologous nucleotide sequences among several pairs of species with known divergence times. A pair of species that d

iverged 1 million years ago has two nucleotide differences, a pair that diverged 2 million years ago has four nucleotide differences, and a pair that diverged 3 million years ago has six nucleotide differences. You have sequence data for another pair of species for which the divergence time is unknown. There are five nucleotide differences between them. Based on your clock, when did their line of ancestry diverge

2.5 million years is the divergence time.

Explanation:

If we see the pattern of divergence time in the first example it is 2 nucleotides difference it is 1 million years, 4 nucleotides it is 2 million years. With every one million years 2 nucleotide difference is seen. Based on this pattern it can be concluded that every 0.5 million years one nucleotide difference is seen. So,

for the 5 nucleotide difference in the sequenced data of another organism, it is 2.5 million years of divergence time.

The divergent time is important in knowing the evolution of a particular species.

VMariaS [17]
Taking a measure of someones blood glucose level before they eat in the morning is a measure of fasting blood glucose. A normal measure of fasting blood glucose is 3.8 to 5.5 mmol. If the value were higher, say 5.8 mmol then the patient would be described as being pre-diabetic. Since the value is the highest in the range of being normal she should be monitored for pre- diabetes.

in humans the sex cells sperm and egg contain 23 chromosomes. why is this number different than the number of chromosomes in all
kolezko [41]
The number is different than the number of chromosomes because us humans normally contain 23 pairs of chromosomes which is a total of 46 chromosomes in each cell. A change in the number of chromosomes can cause problems with growth, development, and function of the body systems.

Map pling Sickle-cell anemia is a disease that affects the type of hemoglobin (Hb) a person makes in his or her red blood cells.
topjm [15]

Answer:

The correct answer is codominance.

Explanation:

It is given in the question that the genotype of Martin is HbS/HbS, and is exhibiting sickle cell anemia with unusual hemoglobin. On the other hand, the genotype of Cindy is HbA/HbA, which shows that she possesses normal hemoglobin. Both of them have a child, Mary who as usual is exhibiting genotype HbS/HbA.  

This shows that Mary has acquired both the alleles for sickle cell anemia from her parents, and thus, is demonstrating both unusual and normal form of hemoglobin. Sickle cell is a condition that does not demonstrate the phenomenon of complete dominance, as it is a codominant trait.  

A phenomenon in which the features of both the alleles are expressed in the phenotype is termed as codominance. Hence, Mary is demonstrating a codominance pattern.
