The correct answer is option C, An organism experienced punctuated equilibrium and rapidly evolved into another organism entirely

The biologist and geologist have not been able to identify the cause of sudden appearance and disappearance of an organism in the fossil record. They then coined the term punctuated equilibrium which supports the concept of lack of information regarding the changing fossil records. The punctuated equilibrium believes that evolution happened suddenly in a very short duration. There are lot of missing links regarding the transitional forms of any evolving organisms which now is used to support sudden appearance of an organism in the fossil record

Sometimes referred to as DNA-DNA hybridization, this process hybridizes the genetic information from two different organisms to determine similarities between them. Scientists separate strands of DNA from both species using heat, which breaks the bonds between the base pairs that link the two sides of the double helix.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Mark pathogenic cells for destruction. (Ans. B)

Explanation:

Antibodies are generated by the plasma cells, and once these secreted, they attach quickly to the surface of the toxin and stop the toxin from infecting the normal body cell by blocking key extracellular sites.

Antibodies also help to mark pathogens for destruction by the help of macrophages or neutrophils and they are known as phagocytic cells because they are highly excited to macro-molecules complexed with antibodies.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. a string of nucleotides that can be used as a template to produce a RNA that codes for a protein.

Explanation:

A gene is a specific sequence of DNA containing genetic information required to make a specific protien and  is a string of nucleotides (DNA in cells) that can be used as a template to produce a RNA (by transcription) that codes for a protein. The produced RNA might be the end product (for example some transfer RNA's) or might be further translated into a protein. An organism's entire complement of DNA is its genome.
