The branching point on a cladogram represents a common ancestor. A cladogram is a diagram used in cladistics to show relations among organisms. However it is not an evolutionary tree since it does not show how ancestors are related to descendants, nor does it show how much they have changed. 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The correct answer is: viral replication would stop.
Explanation:
Drugs that block the action of RNA polymerase in viruses are called antivirals and are used to cure viral infections like Hepatitis and Herpes.
<u>Antivirals do not destroy the virus but rather mess with its development by inhibiting its replication</u>.
Viruses do not have the capacity to replicate or synthesize proteins by themselves, so they need a host that can "lend them" the structures needed to perform those processes. If the drug blocks the RNA polymerase, the virus won't be able to replicate itself.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer: c) Some organisms rely on energy captured from inorganic compounds to drive basic biological processes.
Explanation:
 Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are hot spots of geothermal water. The organisms living in deep-sea vents cannot obtain energy from sunlight. They are dependent on chemosynthesis, which involves the utilization of inorganic substances to produce organic substances, which allows their survival and act as a source of energy. In the given situation, bacteria present on the surface of mussels are capable of chemosynthesis also the mussels are dependent upon inorganic hydrogen in seawater. Thus chemosynthesis supports the survival of organisms living in the deep sea vents.

Answer:
Pumps, also called transporters, are transmembrane proteins that actively move ions and/or solutes against a concentration or electrochemical gradient across biological membranes. One moves with the concentration gradient (high to low) which powers the movement of the other against the gradient (low to high).
