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

What would be the advantage(s) to having no chloroplasts in the cells of the spongy mesophyll?
Gwar [14]
Well, first off the spongy mesophyll does have some chloroplasts, however they are located quite far from the surface of the leaf where most of the chloroplasts are. Therefore they don't get much light and don't contribute a lot to photosynthesis in the leaf. So why should the leaf waste the energy in making chloroplasts if there is not enough light to make them all efficient enough at photosynthesis?

<h2>Answer is "True" Generate a new hypothesis</h2>

Explanation:

  • Due to the false hypothesis a student create a new hypothesis for the research.the hypothesis gives the objective to the research and the methodology to complete the work.
  • If the student doesn't generate the correct the methodology hence, its work is not proficient to the research that's why the student try to do new analysis with new ideas.
  • This is because the hypothesis is a conditional explanation about the connection between at least two factors. It is a particular, testable expectation about what you hope to occur in an investigation. For instance, an investigation intended to take a gander at the connection between lack of sleep and test execution may have a hypothesis that expresses, "This examination is intended to evaluate the theory that restless individuals will perform more awful on a test than people who are not sleepless.
  • So, the right answer is true "Generate a new hypothesis" is the next step.
