Imagine you have three test tubes containing identical solutions of purified, double-stranded human DNA. You expose the DNA in t

ube 1 to an agent that breaks the sugar-phosphate (phosphodiester) bonds. You expose the DNA in tube 2 to an agent that breaks the bonds that attach the bases to the sugars. You expose the DNA in tube 3 to an agent that breaks the hydrogen bonds. After treatment, how would the structures of the molecules in the three tubes differ?

Answer:

DNA is the genetic material of all the living organism except some viruses. The structure of DNA consists of nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and the phosphate group.

Tube 1 - The nucleotide are linked together by phosphodiester bond. As these bonds are broken, the structure of DNA contains the individual complementary nucleotide are linked together by hydrogen bonds.

Tube 2 - The bond between the sugar and the bases are broken. The DNA structure consists of the phosphate group chain only with any pairing with the base.

Tube 3 - The DNA nitrogenous bases are adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine that are linked together by hydrogen bonds. The agents break the hydrogen bonds. Now, the DNA structure consists of the single strand only.

lina2011 [118]

Answer: The observation "A" leads us to conclude that the finches populations are from two different species

Explanation:

According to the biological concept of species, <em>a set of individuals are from the same species if they are able to reproduce and leave fertile offspring</em>. This is key so one species can be successful and perpetuate through time. If they cannot leave descendants, then the species will be extinct. However, it’s possible that two individuals from different species mate and have descendants, but they cannot leave fertile offspring. When they are from different species, the offspring will be sterile and it is called a hybrid.  

In the case of the South American finch, the island's finch population and mainland's finch population belong to different species because their offspring is sterile. To have different features, as different feather's color, or to have other dietary preference is not enough to say that they are different species. This is because within the same species, individuals can have variations. For example, we can different eye color and belong to the same species.
