The genomes of three species of mouse are being sequenced, and a particular DNA sequence found in all three species is found to

have a steady mutation rate. The sequence of interest for these three species is shown below.
Species A: ATTCGGATTATTCGAGG
Species B: GTCCGGTTCATTGGACA
Species C: ATCCAGATCGTTCGTGG
Which of the following inferences can be made, based on this information?

A. Species B and Species C most likely diverged from Species A since they both have more mutations than Species A.
B. Species B most likely evolved from Species C since they are closest to each other in terms of number of mutations.
C. Species A and Species C most likely share the most recent common ancestor since they differ by the fewest mutations.
D. Species C most likely diverged from Species A more recently than Species B since Species C has fewer mutations than Species B.

What is the kinetic energy of a ball with a mass of 0.5 kg and a velocity of 10 m/s
vichka [17]

Answer:

We can plug in the information for the ball into this equation to determine the kinetic energy. The mass is 0.5 kg and the velocity is 10 meters per second. So: KE = (1/2)(0.5)(10)^2. Thus the kinetic energy of the ball is 25 J

lana [24]
The correct answer is "<span>the blood vessels of the dermis have undergone vasodilation, bringing a greater volume of blood to the skin"

This is because heat signals the temperature regulating center of the hypothalamus then the hypothalamus will respond to that signal by activating the sympathetic nervous system causing the vasodilation of the cutaneous blood vessels leading to more blood flow essentially cooling the skin by letting more heat to the outside environment.</span>

Hurry i’ll give you 50 point Part A: Define the Problem
laila [671]

Answer:

Despite the availability of cleaner energy sources, most of the energy used to power American homes comes from the

burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide

is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.

Why do you think it's a challenge to reduce fossil fuel usage in homes in the United States? How could the use of fossil

fuels affect the biodiversity in neighborhoods and the surrounding ecosystems?
