Answer:

sister taxa

Explanation:

Groups departing from the same evolutionary node are called sister taxa and are evolutionarily closer to each other than groups departing from another node. Thus, we can say that the sister taxa are evolutionarily closer (related) to each other than to the taxa that did not diverge from the same place. Similarly we can say that taxa that did not diverge from the same place, cannot be called sister taxa and are distant evolutionary.

Trava [24]

Answer:

Nitrogenous bases contain the genetic information, their amount is variable among different species, and the arrangement of these bases is also variable among different species

Explanation:

Both Watson-Crick and Pauling's DNA models considered that DNA nitrogenous bases (i.e., Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine and Guanine) contain the genetic information that determines the characteristics of living organisms. Moreover, both DNA models also considered that nitrogenous base composition varies between species, as well as the arrangement of these bases in the DNA chain also varies between species. Based on these features, Linus Pauling considered that a model where nitrogenous bases would be arranged on the outside of the DNA molecule would be easier for the DNA molecule to be replicated, transcribed, or repaired. Although incorrect, Pauling's DNA triple helix model was fundamental to develop the helical (double-stranded) structure of DNA, which was finally discovered by Watson and Crick in 1953.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Abiotic factors refer to non-living physical and chemical elements in the ecosystem. ... Examples of abiotic factors are water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals. Biotic factors are living or once-living organisms in the ecosystem. These are obtained from the biosphere and are capable of reproduction.
