Which of the following statements best supports the claim that organisms share fundamental processes as a result of evolution? (

A) All organisms that are introduced into new environments have the capacity to fill vacant ecological roles. (B) All organisms have the ability to utilize oxygen to harness energy from the chemical breakdown of organic compounds. (C) All organisms share a genetic code organized into triplet codons, making it possible for one organism to express a gene from another organism. (D) All organisms possess structures such as chloroplasts and mitochondria within their cells that reflect past symbiotic relationships

Answer:

C

Explanation:

All living organisms' cell are composed of genetic material in form of DNA. The DNA encodes the information needed for the production of useful products (proteins). The way in which the information is encoded is called the GENETIC CODE. It consists of all the triplet nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes an amino acid.

This genetic code is universal i.e. the same genetic code is employed by virtually all living organisms, as a codon does not encode another amino acid in another organism. It is universal that AUG specifies Methionine in all living organisms. This shows that all organism share a common evolutionary history.

Hence, it is possible for an organism to express a gene from another organism since the same genetic code will be used to read the information in the gene.

Ventricular systole begins during the __________ phase of the cardiac cycle. Ventricular systole begins during the __________ ph
Zina [86]

Answer

              Ventricular systole begins during the  <u>isovolumetric contraction </u>phase of the cardiac cycle.

Explanation

1. Ventricular ejection

The forceful expulsion of blood from the ventricles into the aorta and the pulmonary arteries.

2. Isovolumetric contraction

                     The interval between the closing of the AV valves and the opening of the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary valves) is known as isovolumetric contraction. it is the beginig of systole. it is the first chamber systolic event. The myocardial muscle fibers have begun to shorten but have not developed enough pressure in the ventricles to overcome the aortic and pulmonary end-diastolic pressures and open the aortic and pulmonary valves. During this period of muscle fiber contraction, the ventricular volumes do not change.

3. Ventricular filling  

                 In this stage AV valve is opened and the blood that has accumulated in atria flow rapidly into ventricles. The ventricular volume increase rapidly. A third heart sound known as S3 is heared during this stage.

4. Isovolumetric relaxation

                  It is the beginning of diastole. The AV valve are closed at beginig. The atrium in diastole has been filling with blood on top of the closed AV valve, causing atrial pressure to rise gradually. The pressure in the ventricles continues to drop. Ventricular volume is at a minimum and is ready to be filled again with blood.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

D

Explanation: this would make sense because they could not have evolved to become the same. Evolution does not work like that . The animals would not walk or fly they are water creatures and if they did that they would not evolve back down to fish .
