Answer;

D.60 million years

Explanation;

The two species shared a common ancestor 60 million years ago, if the molecules found in these two species differ by a total of six mutations.

Mutation is a sudden, random spontaneous change that occur in the genetic make up of an organism or a cell.

If one mutation occurred after 10 million years;

Then six mutations will need (6 ×10) 60 million years.

Their main difference is how they form the daughter cells during cytokinesis. During that stage, animal cells form furrow or cleavage that gives way to formation of daughter cells. Due to the existence of the rigid cell wall, plant cells don't form furrows.

Hope this helps, if not let me know. Also, do you have multiple choice answers? If this isn't one let me know the options and I'm sure I can help.

Explanation:

An animal cell is a typical example of an eukaryotic cell i.e a cell that contains a membrane-bound nucleus. In the cell are certain structures that performs specific functions in the cell called ORGANELLES. The organelles, according to this question, are found suspended or cushioned in the cytoplasm of the animal cell.

A list of the organelles in the cytoplasm (part of the cell that excludes the nucleus) of an animal cell are as follows:

- cell membrane

- nucleus

- nucleolus

- nuclear membrane

- cytosol

- smooth endoplasmic reticulum

- rough endoplasmic reticulum

- Golgi apparatus

- ribosomes

- mitochondria

- centrosome

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Fertilization Follows. During the spring of the female cone's second year, the male and female gametes are ready. The pollen grows a pollen tube, which enters a little hole in the ovule's skin near its basal end, called the micropyle. The tube enters the ovule, and the sperm goes down the tube and into the ovule.
