The correct answer is option A) The DNA in one species of bacteria can be exchanged with an unlike species of bacteria.

Phylogenetic trees are very helpful in tracing lineages and categorizing the animals on the basis of their genetic makeup so that evolutionary relationships between organisms may be established. The DNA of one species of bacteria can be exchanged with an unlike species of bacteria by a process known as horizontal gene transfer. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is also known as lateral gene transfer. In HGT, the transfer of DNA does not occur through lateral gene transfer like in case of transfer of DNA from parents to progenies. We consider parents as the most closely related to the progenies because their DNA is more or less same as that of progenies. But in HGT, a bacteria can transfer its genes to a totally unrelated strain of bacteria  via conjugation, transformation or transduction. Since the DNA is being incorporated to an unrelated strain, in a phylogenetic tree the unrelated strain will show up as a related strain to the bacteria from which is has received the DNA through HGT even though it is unrelated. This is how it will create hurdle in tracing lineages and classifying bacteria.

Q 16.1: The cerebral cortex is required for A : subconscious detection of environmental changes B : conscious interpretation of
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Conscious interpretation of sensations.

Explanation:

Cerebral cortex consists of the outer layer of the cerebrum present in the brain of the humans. Longitudinal fissure divides the cerebral cortex into the right and left cerebral hemisphere.

The cerebral cortex is involved in the senses information. The conscious interpretation of the sensation is required in the cerebral cortex and contains large number of sensory innervation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

How does increasing in carbon dioxide affect photosynthesis?​
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

An increase in the carbon dioxide concentration increases the rate at which carbon is incorporated into carbohydrate in the light-independent reaction, and so the rate of photosynthesis generally increases until limited by another factor.
