Answer:

Explanation:

The property of plants that makes them a good source of food is the chemical property.

<em>Plant lock-up energy in them in the form of carbohydrate which is derived from the process of photosynthesis. The energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy and when plant-consuming organisms feed on them, the chemical is broken down and the energy is released for the metabolic activities of the body.</em>

These two processes can be expressed as equations:

1. $6CO_2 + 6H_2O + energy --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_6$

2. $C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_6 --> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + energy$

The correct option here is C.

Answer:

c. the neutral theory posits that the vast majority of mutations do not influence the fitness of individuals

Explanation:

The neutral theory proposed by Motoo Kimura states that the vast majority of changes at the molecular level (DNA) in a population happens due to genetic drift, not by natural selection, this implies that the mutations are neutral and do not give an advantage to the organisms.

This means that mutant alleles are preserved due to the randomness of life and not because this alleles give selective advantage over other individuals of the population.

Raccoons and lesser pandas have many corresponding sequences of nucleotides.

Oksanka [162]

Analyzing the proteins of the Racoons and lesser pandas, there will be huge similarities with minor modifications.

These species will be very closely related.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The evolutionary background of the species are mainly studied based on the similarities of the nucleotide sequences and proteins. While studying the Lesser pandas and Racoons, there was a huge similarities in then based on their structures, and on their protein composition. The nucleotide sequences also showed huge similarities which also points that they have developed from same ancestor. This is why they are very closely related with each other by means of evolution.
