Epiphyseal plate is the structure within a bone that contains cartilage cells that divide and increase the size of the bone until adulthood.

The epiphyseal plate, also known as epiphysial plate,or physis, or growth plate, is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone or diaphysis. The plate is found in children and adolescents; in adults, who have stopped growing, the plate is replaced by an epiphyseal line.

Which observation would most seriously challenge the hypothesis that most noncoding DNA is slightly deleterious?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Species with larger population sizes have more noncoding DNA.

Explanation:

The statement that most non-coding DNA is deleterious contradicts the fact that Species with larger population sizes have more noncoding DNA. Had the non coding been deleterious , its proportion in species with larger population would have been less but the fact that species with larger population sizes have more noncoding DNA contradicts it.

If a biologist wanted to analyze the evolutionary relationship in a gene that is found in both eukaryotes and bacteria, which of

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A) histone coding genes

Explanation:

Histones are the proteins involved in the packing of DNA in eukaryotes. They are positively charged proteins and are not found in bacteria. To analyze the evolutionary relationship in a gene between eukaryotes and bacteria, one must choose the gene present in both of them. The tRNA, rRNA and hexokinase encoding genes are common to both bacteria and eukaryotes. Therefore, one of these genes may be chosen for the study. However, histone encoding genes are not present in the genomes of bacteria. Therefore, the study of the histone encoding gene would not be useful for the mentioned purpose.
