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.
It’s b.
He grouped the types of creatures according to their similarities: animals with blood and animals without blood, animals that live on water and animals that live on land.
Answer:
Recessive lethal genes can code for either dominant or recessive traits, but they do not actually cause death unless an organism carries two copies of the lethal allele. Examples of human diseases caused by recessive lethal alleles include cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell anaemia, and achondroplasia.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Explanation:
In gene transfer, researchers introduce a foreign gene directly into cancer cells or into surrounding tissue. The goal is that the newly inserted gene will cause the cancer cells to die or prevent cancer cells and surrounding tissue from funneling blood to tumors, depriving them of nutrients they need for survival.
Answer:
The animal cell will shrink due to loss of water to the external solution
Explanation:
An isotonic solution is that solution which has equal concentration with its external environment. Hence, no net movement of water occurs in an isotonic solution since there is no concentration gradient. Therefore, if an animal cell is placed in an isotonic solution at first, no net movement of water occurs because the intracellular and extracellular concentrations are at equilibrium.
However, if more solutes are added to the solution, it makes the solution HYPERTONIC to the cell i.e greater in concentration. This creates an osmotic gradient and causes water to move out of the animal cell into the solution in accordance to osmotic principles (movement of water from a low concentration of solute to high concentration of solute). This causes the animal cell to likely SHRINK.
