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.

Read the Mungo Lady and Mungo Man Do others in the field of anthropology agree with Dr. Thorne's view? Explain.
sweet [91]
I've read the story back a couple months ago

Actually, there are many archeologists and anthropologists disagree with dr. Thorne's view. Basically, Thorne strongly believes that what many calls Homo erectus was, in fact, Homo sapiens, and that they migrated out of Africa almost 2 million years ago and dispersed throughout Europe and Asia. That would actually be very different from what scientists have always believed about the evolution of the species. That is why many of them are against him)

I hope I helped :)

What theory dramatically improved geologist's ability to predict where certain ore deposits were formed? Select one:
mrs_skeptik [129]

Plate tectonics is referred to a geology theory, which explains the movement of earth’s lithosphere.  This theory suggests that the earth’s lithosphere is made up of many plates, and these plates move on each other causing collision of the plates or sometimes separation of the landmasses.  

Sometimes, the movements of the plate occur in such a way that the surface of the earth is buried underground. Even in normal circumstance, some of the surface materials buried underground. So, by studying the type of things existed on the surface in past, one can predict the abundance of a specific substance underground.  

Hence, the correct answer is option b. – Plate tectonics.
