Answer:

Collagen genes.

Explanation:

Phylogenetics helps to study the evolutionary relationship among the different group of organisms. The different characteristics like DNA sequences, mitochondria sequences can be used for the construction of phylogeny tree.

Collagen genes can be used to study the evolutionary relationship as mammals contains nearly 30% of total protein. The collagen gene shows the most of the conserved sequences among the different group of organisms and shows the most recent evolved characters in vertebrates.

Thus, the correct answer is collagen genes.

based on the living things in the pyramid, tell me what examples would fit into these categories: primary producers, primary con
algol [13]

Answer:

- Oak trees: primary producers

- Caterpillars: primary consumers

- Blue Jays: secondary consumers

- Hawks: tertiary consumers

Explanation:

A trophic pyramid, also known as ecological pyramid or energy pyramid, is a graphic representation that shows the relationships between different types of organisms (i.e., producers and consumers) at the trophic levels of an ecosystem. The primary producers are autotrophic organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and chemical compounds from nonliving sources (e.g., photosynthetic plants, algae, etc). The primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers (e.g., herbivores), while secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers (e.g., omnivores). Moreover, tertiary consumers are predators and/or omnivores that eat secondary consumers (e.g., hawks). Finally, decomposers (e.g., bacteria) are organisms that obtain nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organic material (i.e., dead organisms) at all trophic levels into nutrients.
