How can DNA be useful in phylogeny?

Biology
2 answers:
Genrish500 [490]4 years ago

Answer:

Option C, DNA sequences from different species can be compared, giving us more information about their evolutionary relationships

Explanation:

Phylogeny is the study of evolution of species since ages and  also working out inter species evolutionary relationship.

In molecular phylogeny the DNA and its structure is very essential to work out the evolution of species.  

The information about the structural arrangement of genome, genetic mutation, difference in the nucleotide sequence etc, helps to establish a common ancestry relationship between two or more individual.  

Since all the genetic information is carried by DNA, thus assessment of DNA helps to identify the common thread of evolution  and in this way DNA is useful in phylogeny.

What are the functions of the larynx and how does it carry out them on a daily basis?
MArishka [77]
The larynx is an nicknamed the "voice box" because it holds the vocal cords inside. It helps change the pitch and volume of our voices as we speak. It is the only part of the body capable of doing this job, so we don't ever want it removed. Our voices would be much more monotone sounding. The larynx connects the pharynx to the trachea in the neck. It is also capable of allowing air through for us to breathe, but does not let anything (food or drink) block the airway. This is obviously a daily function since we eat and drink numerous times daily and usually have no problems breathing while eating and drinking. This is thanks to the larynx.

Hope this helps! :)

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

A myofibril or muscle fiber under an electron microscope shows alternate light band and dark bands.  These bands give the skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle a striated appearance. The light band is called the I- band or isotropic band, and the dark band is known as A- band or anisotropic band. In the center of the I-band Z-line is present. It is discovered from a German term Zwischenscheibe (between the disc). The portion of myofibril between one Z-line to the next Z-line is called sarcomere.

multigene families include two or more nearly identical genes or genes sharing nearly identical sequences. a classical example i
vova2212 [387]

Identical and obviously duplicated gene sequences have gotten from one chromosome to another by chromosomal translocation.

In terms of genetics, a translocation takes place when chromosome fragments and the (often two) fragmented portions reassociate with other chromosomes. For the diagnosis of several genetic diseases and syndromes, the finding of chromosomal translocations can be crucial.

Multigene families are groups of related or identical genes that have developed by gene duplication. It is thought that a single ancestral gene was duplicated and varied to create multigene families. The multigene families that code for actins, hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, tubulins, interferons, histones, etc. are a few examples.
