Explain why DNA is called a molecular clock.

Biology
1 answer:
hammer [34]3 years ago
5 0

The molecular clock is a figurative term for a technique that uses the mutation rate of biomolecules to deduce the time in prehistory when two or more life forms diverged. The biomolecular data used for such calculations are usually nucleotide sequences for DNA or amino acid sequences for proteins.

Endosymbiont theory explains some of the differences and similarities between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Categorize the followi
spayn [35]

Answer:

Endosymbiont theory was proposed by Lynn Margulis in 1967 which suggested the origin of Chloroplast and mitochondria in eukaryotic cells.

The theory suggested that chloroplast and mitochondria organelle originated by engulfing the cyanobacteria and proteobacteria by other prokaryotic bacteria.

This shows that Prokaryotes exhibit the following characters:

1. These were the first organisms on Earth

2. Lack membrane-bounded

3. Aerobic bacteria are these types of cells

Eukaryotes exhibit:

1. Have mitochondria

2. Includes organisms that carry out aerobic respiration

3. Can be a multicellular organism

4. Includes organisms that are photosynthetic

5. Might have chloroplasts

What is a function of hydrochloric acid in the stomach nutrition?
Mandarinka [93]
The primary role of hydrochloric acid is to sterilize the food you eat and to prevent harmful bacteria from entering the GI tract. HCL also triggers the release of enzymes such as pepsin which are essential for the digestion of protein.

Can you determine which instances reflect a valid experiment or conclusion? Check only those that are valid.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Only options a reflects the instances with valid experiment or conclusion.

Quality of any experiment depends upon two things reliability and validity. Reliability is measure of regeneration of results every time an experiment is performed under specific conditions.

Validity is measure of accuracy of results of an experiment. It can be check by two ways: internal validity (checks the design of the experiment) and external validity (checks if the conclusion is the real explanation of the phenomenon).

Now, in marine biologist experiment, he concluded the results only after one breeding season. This makes his results unreliable as it might have happened by chance.

Similarly, in cola experiment the taste was only checked by one candidate i.e. Karl. He might have problem in his taste buds. In addition, the temperature of cola can also affects its taste which is not taken care of in the experiment. Hence, it is not the valid experiment.

Similarly. Jeanette could use more plants for her experiment and Robert just followed only one instruction. He didn't perform any experiment.
