Suppose a segment of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is compared between two similar modern-day species. It is known that this segment

of mtDNA changes at a steady rate of one base pair every 4 million years. Compare the sequences of the two mtDNA segments given below. Species A: GCACTAAGCATCGATTT Species B: GCACCAGGCACTGGTTC Use the basic principle of molecular clocks to calculate how long ago the two species diverged from a common ancestor.

Answer:

24 million years

Explanation:

A: GCACTAAGCATCGATTT

B: GCACCAGGCACTGGTTC

There are 6 base pair changes between species A and species B. Since we know the rate of change is 1 base pair every 4 million years, we know 6x 4 million is likely how long ago the species diverged. 6x 4 million = 24 million years

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Food storage

Explanation:

Stomach is a small pouch like structure which has the ability to store food temporarily.The storage of the food temporarily takes place in the stomach. The food that we eat reaches to the stomach by the help of food pipe.

Here, the food is stored until it is completely broken down into simpler form and enzymes act on them.

The food is then absorbed in the small intestine. But before this food is temporarily stored in the stomach where all the digestive juices and enzymes come to act on the food.

give two reasons why it is better fro human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration than through anaerobic re
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

During anaerobic respiration lactic acid is produced which is not good for human. It causes muscle pain.

ATP produces during anaerobic respiration are less while aerobic respiration produces more ATPs.

Explanation:

During anaerobic respiration lactic acid is produced which is not good for human. It causes muscle pain.

ATP produces during anaerobic respiration are less while aerobic respiration produces more ATPs.

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide
