Answer:

Apply the principle of parsimony

Explanation:

A cladogram is used to show or illustrate hypothetical speciation and relationships between species. They are commonly used to classify animals.

The principle of parsimony argues that the simplest of competing explanations is most likely to be correct.  

In order to construct a cladogram that best reflects the evolutionary relationship of a group of species. Application of the principle of parsimony  will help in deciding which tree is most likely to have occurred based on the fewest character state changes.

andre [41]

Answer:

a. amygdala

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various neurologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the part of the brain that was most likely under investigation in this study was the amygdala. This can be said because the amygdala is the part of the brain that is responsible for emotions, survival instincts (which dictates fear levels), and memory.

The information from messenger RNA is used to create polypeptide sequences during the process of _____.​
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Translation

Explanation:

The translation is the process during which the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is complementary to the template DNA strand. According to the sequence of the nucleotides in the mRNA, the amino acids are added in a specific order to make the polypeptide chains. The process occurs on ribosomes. The ribosomes move along the mRNA to read its sequence and the tRNA brings are amino acids to be added to the polypeptide chains.

Give one example of a parasitic fungi and explain how it affects human health.
Zarrin [17]

Answer: Many pathogenic fungi are parasitic in humans and are known to cause diseases of humans and other animals. In humans, parasitic fungi most commonly enter the body through a wound in the epidermis (skin). Such wounds may be insect punctures or accidentally inflicted scratches, cuts, or bruises. One example of a fungus that causes disease in humans is Claviceps purpurea, the cause of ergotism (also known as St. Anthony’s fire), a disease that was prevalent in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, particularly in regions of high rye-bread consumption. The wind carries the fungal spores of ergot to the flowers of the rye, where the spores germinate, infect and destroy the ovaries of the plant, and replace them with masses of microscopic threads cemented together into a hard fungal structure shaped like a rye kernel but considerably larger and darker. This structure, called an ergot, contains a number of poisonous organic compounds called alkaloids. A mature head of rye may carry several ergots in addition to noninfected kernels. When the grain is harvested, much of the ergot falls to the ground, but some remains on the plants and is mixed with the grain. Although modern grain-cleaning and milling methods have practically eliminated the disease, the contaminated flour may end up in bread and other food products if the ergot is not removed before milling. In addition, the ergot that falls to the ground may be consumed by cattle turned out to graze in rye fields after harvest. Cattle that consume enough ergot may suffer abortion of fetuses or death. In the spring, when the rye is in bloom, the ergot remaining on the ground produces tiny, black, mushroom-shaped bodies that expel large numbers of spores, thus starting a new series of infections.

tatiyna

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) It does not depend on insect pollination.</em>

Explanation:

Angiosperms can simply be described as the plants which produce flowers whereas gymnosperms are the plants which do not produce flowers.

Both, the gymnosperms and the angiosperms, are capable of producing seeds. However, the seeds of the angiosperms are enclosed in an ovary. The seeds of gymnosperms are not enclosed.

<u><em>One of the major differences between gymnosperms and angiosperms is that the angiosperms have to depend on animals for pollination. On the other hand, the seeds of gymnosperms are spread through the wind and are pollinated.</em></u>
