Answer:

To find the extinct species and their divergence of characters can be studied using molecular genetic techniques.

Explanation:

  • Paleontology is the study of ancient species and their remaining that were found millions of years ago. These species extinction can be found and manipulated to find out the origin or divergence of species from their origin
  • The samples of these species may contains their remains that help the biologist to isolate and analyze their protein or DNA. when the DNA is isolated their sequences can be generated using molecular biology techniques.
  • When the sequences are identified by advanced molecular biology techniques, the existence and similarities of different species due to their convergence or divergence can be identified.
  • By identifying the convergence or divergence the characteristics, evolutionary change in behavior, variation in appearance can be studied.
  • By using these techniques, biologist have found that <em>homo sapiens</em>  are 99% have their similarities with chimpanzee
  • Thus, using genetics in paleontology helps us to understand adaptation a species is changing according to the evolutionary changes.

rosijanka [135]

It is true. In drosophila, distinct sets of maternal impact gene products must accumulate in the proper region of the embryo to ensure proper anteroposterior and dorsoventral development.

<h3>What makes Drosophila unique?</h3>

The use of Drosophila over vertebrate models has many technological advantages;

  • they are simple and affordable to culture in lab settings,
  • have a significantly shorter life cycle,
  • produce huge numbers of externally deposited embryos
  • may be genetically manipulated in a variety of ways.
<h3>Why is Drosophila referred to be the genetic Cinderella?</h3>
  • Drosophila, which means "dew loving," is derived from the Greek word drósos.
  • Fruit flies, or Drosophila melanogaster, are referred to as the genetic Cinderella.
  • This term was given to them because of their 12-day lifetime, ease of culture, and ability to produce numerous offspring from a single reproduction.

What are the benefits/risks associated with the addition of antibiotics and genetically modified
Korolek [52]
One major risk is mutation. Diseases can mutate just has how we have genetic mutations. The bacteria in the cattle may become immune to the drugs over a long period of time, or mutate and become immune. As we try to fight it with more antibiotics, it may become immune to those as well, eventually creating a bacteria immune to most antibiotics, leaving us unable to fight it, especially in poorer areas, due to the fact that if we did create new antibiotics they would be more expensive than your common antibiotic, such as penicillin.<span />
