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.

Experiments on the positive phototropic response of plants indicate that ______. A. light destroys auxin B. auxin moves down the
artcher [175]

The answer is auxin can move to the shady side of the stem.

Phototropism is a reaction to environmental factors. It is a plant's response to sunlight in the form of movement. In plants, phototropism is very prevalent. In actuality, it is necessary for plant growth. Other plant movements also occur in response to touch, water, gravity, and other factors. Phototropism was discovered due to well-known experiments by Charles Darwin and Boysen Jensen.

There are two types of phototropism:

  • Positive phototropism
  • Negative phototropism.

Given the inefficiency of two of the pathways shown in Figure 2-4, what advantage could
grandymaker [24]
I’m assuming this entire thing is cellular respiration. pathway a most likely represents alcoholic fermentation, B represent lactic acidosis fermentation, C probably represents aerobic cellular respiration. Alcoholic fermentation doesn’t occur in humans, it occurs in micro bacteria and yeast. Lactic acidosis fermentation occurs in humans when there is not oxygen. That’s why you breathe so heavily after sprinting. Cellular respiration just happens naturally. Idk if that’s what the question is asking so feel free to comment and if this helped, brain answer?
