Answer:
Radioactive labeling is a procedure used to monitor the path followed by a chemical element within a biological system to demonstrate the source.
Hypothesis:
The free oxygen produced during photosynthesis comes from water.
Procedure.
Single-celled algae were placed in four petri dishes containing carbon dioxide, glucose dissolved in Water.
In each box the oxygen was radioactively marked.
1 petri dish with CO2 marked. Experimental groups
2 petri dish with H2O marked. Experimental groups
3 petri dish with Glucose marked. Experimental groups (control)
4 petri dish with CO2 + H2O + Glucose, all marked. (control).
Some examples would be slate, phyllite, and gneiss.
Answer: If one is constructing a phylogeny of reptiles using DNA sequence data of birds, mammals, amphibians or fish, the suitable outgroup to be used are mammals due to the time of divergence from other group of organisms.
Explanation: Phylogeny is used to determine evolutionary relationship between items or organisms. A phylogenetic tree is a graphical illustration of phylogenetic relationship. In phylogeny, an outgroup represent an organism that is more distantly related to other group of organisms.
In a phylogenetic tree, outgroup stands alone. It shows that the time of divergence of that particular organism is far from other group of organisms. Outgroup is used to root a tree and sometimes represent a group that is more ancestral on a tree.
It should be noted that differences in the DNA sequences of the organisms under consideration will determine which organism will serve as the outgroup.
