How can molecular evidence show species relatedness

Biology

Yuki888 [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Nowadays, molecular pieces of evidence are used to show the similarity between two species as the universal molecule- DNA is present in all living organism from lower to higher organisms which code for the amino acids of the proteins.

The differences and similarities between genomes of two different species confirm relatedness as a mutation in genes can show evolutionary patterns which can be summarized as:

  1. differences between base sequences can show the degree of divergence.
  2. a large number of differences means species diverged long ago.
  3. more similarity in sequence means species are more closely related.

Thus, molecular evidence is used to show species relatedness.

Which of the following characteristics are true for an action potential?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

I, II, III

Explanation:

A threshold stimulus is a stimulus that is capable to produce a response in excitable tissues such as neurons and muscle fibers. At threshold potential, the outward movement of K+ and inward movement of Na+ become equal to each other. When the potential exceeds the threshold potential, more and more Na+ enter the cell to depolarize it and to allow the opening of Na+ channels. Therefore, to fire an action potential, the threshold must be exceeded.

Conduction of action potential is all or none phenomenon which means that either it occurs or it does not occur. As an impulse is passed by each successive part of an exon, it enters the refractory period during which there is no conduction of nerve impulse. It ensures the one-way conduction of impulse from the cell body to the axon terminal only.

Macronutrients are nutrients that contain inorganic components. <br> a. True <br> b. False
emmasim [6.3K]
This is false, as macronutrients are all made of organic components. Macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The most basic unit for carbohydrates is glucose. Glucose is an organic molecule with a chemical formula of C6H12O6 which then is broken down by the body to convert it to energy (in the form of ATP). Fats or triglycerides are comprised of fatty acids and a glycerol backbone which can also be used by the body for energy or can be stored for later use. Proteins on the other hand are functional molecules wherein the basic unit for proteins is the amino acid. Proteins are exemplified because they contain nitrogen (CHON). All of which can be used as energy and has specific caloric value per gram (4 kcal for every gram of protein and carbohydrates and 9 kcal for every gram of fat).

Micronutrients are usually inorganic compounds with no caloric value. Usually these micronutrients are essential for maintaining biochemical pathways in the body. For instance, niacin and riboflavin are vitamins that are needed in the production of NAD and FAD which are important for reduction-oxidation reactions in the body (i.e. tricarboxylic acid cycle and electron transport chain).

What bond is broken when energy is released?
Alina [70]

Answer:

Bonds are both broken and made in chemical reactions but many biology teachers and textbooks state that "Breaking ATP bonds releases energy." In reactions bonds are broken and made. If the strength of the bonds formed exceeds the strength of the bonds broken the reaction is exothermic.

Explanation:

Hope this helps. :)
