The human genome comprises about 3 x 109 base pairs of DNA, and no two humans, other than identical twins, ever have been or wil

l be genetically identical. Between any two humans, the amount of genetic variation is about 0.1 percent. What conclusion would be MOST appropriate about the genetic variation between humans and the three apes as illustrated by the phylogenetic tree? A) Genetic variation between all four organisms is non-existent. B) The genetic variation between all four organisms is about the same. C) The genetic variation between humans and orangutans is the greatest. D) Humans branched off from the other three animals due to great genetic variations.

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The amount of genetic variation in two humans is 0.1 percent of their genome. Human genetic variation refers to the biological difference that exists in the human population.

The genetic variation in humans and apes genome is about 4 percent which is 35 million differences in a single nucleotide.

The genetic variation between apes and humans (Homo sapiens), according to scientists includes gene expression differences, variation in the transportable elements and type and number of repetitive genomic DNA transportable elements, the difference in the gene sequence, single nucleotide polymorphic, etc.

According to research, 97 percent of humans and orangutans genomes are identical. Based on evolution, among all apes, the orangutans are very special as it has been stable for the past 15 million years.

Therefore, is the genetic variation between humans and orangutans is the greatest.

Which of the following is NOT a function of the strong hydrochloric acid present in the gastric juice?
Verizon [17]

Answer: d. breakdown starch

Explanation:

The hydrochloric acid is produced by the parietal cells of the gastric glands present in the stomach. The primary function of the hydrochloric acid is to sterilize the food consumed by the human being. The acidic pH is unsuitable for the survival of the microbes present in the stomach. It triggers the activation of enzyme pepsin which is responsible for denaturation of proteins. The pepsin converts the protein into simple form of amino acids hence, facilitates the digestion of protein content in food.

The starch present in the food is digested by the enzyme called as salivary amylase present in the saliva present inside the mouth. The breakdown and digestion of starch is not the function of the hydrochloric acid.

I need help with offspring science
REY [17]
The alleles of offspring vary, some are dominant and some are recessive, meaning that some traits get passed down and some don't, for example,: a dominant trait might be blue eyes, a parent would have blue eyes, and pass that dominant trait to their child so that the child would also have blue eyes, recessive traits are traits that skip a generation.
For example a grandparent might have black hair, but their child won't have black hair, however, their grandchild will have black hair, therefore the black hair trait is recessive and skipped a generation
Hope this helps
