<h3>1. <u>Answer;</u>  </h3>

Take advantage of known mutation rates to estimate how long ago organisms shared a common ancestor.


Molecular clocks take advantage of known mutation rates to estimate how long ago organisms shared a common ancestor.


<h3><u>Explanation</u>; </h3>
  • Molecular clocks predicts the constant rate of molecular evolution of species. It is a method used for analysis in genetics to determine the estimate rates of evolution and data scales using information from the DNA.
  • <em><u>Molecular clocks measures the number of changes, or mutations, which accumulate in the sequence of a gene of different species over time, instead of measuring time in seconds, minutes and hours. </u></em>
<h3>2.<u> Answer; </u></h3>

B. prokaryotes convert nitrogen-containing molecules into forms that can't be used by other organisms.


<h3><u>Explanation</u>; </h3>
  • Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms whose cells lack membrane bound-nucleus and other organelles such as mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, etc.
  • <em><u>Prokaryotes include single celled organisms in domain archaea and bacteria. All prokaryotes contain plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, a cell wall, DNA, and lack membrane-bound organelles. </u></em>
<h3>3. <u>Answer</u>; </h3>

C. within very short spans of time.


<h3><u>Explanation; </u></h3>
  • All of the following patterns were witnessed by Darwin except that species vary within very short spans of time.
  • <em><u>According to Darwin species vary globally, which means that different, yet ecologically similar, animal species inhabited separate, but ecologically similar habitats around the globe.</u></em>

Darwin noticed three distinctive patterns of biological diversity which are;


  • <em>Species vary globally,  </em>
  • <em>Species vary locally, and  </em>
  • <em>Species vary over time. </em>
<h3>4. <u>Answer</u>; </h3>

A. White oaks are grouped in the genus Quercus.


<h3><u>Explanation; </u></h3>
  • <u><em>The two species are closely related, due to the fact that they are in the same genus Quercus</em></u>.
  • It also tells you that all of their taxonomic groups are the same, from domain to genus.
  • The two organisms differs in their species name, red oak belongs to the species rubra while white oak belongs to the species alba.

Effectus [21]

Answer: The surgical removal of male reproductive organs is known as Orchidectomy.

Explanation: By the process of Orchidectomy male reproductive organs ( one or both the testes ) removed surgically. Orchidectomy is also known as Castration.

Orchidectomy is very helpful in case of testicular cancer. Because in that case it serve as treatment of cancer.

Orchidectomy is of three types -:

1 : Simple -: In this type of orchidectomy male gonads and spermatic cord is removed by incision. For the treatment genetic infection.

2 : Subcapsular -: In this type of orchidectomy not the entire gland only glandular tissues are removed. It is a Prostrate cancer treatment.

3: Inguinal :- In this type one or both the testes or entire spermatic cord is removed in incision in lower abdomen.

What type of molecule speeds up chemical reactions in living things?
iren [92.7K]

The best answer is  B - Proteins.

Proteins make up enzymes, or to put it another way enzymes are made up of protein. It is enzymes that speed up the chemical reactions. Enzymes are organic catalysts, substances that speed up a (biochemical) reaction but do not take part in the reaction and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.

In man, there are many enzymes. The majority of these are found in the digestive system where they greatly aid the process of food breakdown from complex molecules to simple molecules. Examples include salivary amylase found in saliva,  which begins the gradual breaking down of starch into glucose right from the moment food is placed in the mouth and mixed with saliva. Pepsin in the stomach breaks down protein.
