How can molecular evidence show species relatedness

Biology

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.

Saturn and Jupiter have attracted as much similar gas as they could, to form two biggest gas giants in our solar system. But they have done things in different ways and caused differences. The first difference is the planets' densities. Saturn is significantly less dense than Jupiter

The A159E mutation causes an A amino acid to be replaced with an E amino acid (their structures are shown here). What type of mu
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Substitution

Explanation:

Mutations can simply be defined as change in the structure of a gene. Mutation can be of different types. These include, but not limited to:

  • Insertion: This involves the insertion of extra base pairs into a DNA
  • Deletion: Loss of DNA section
  • Substitution: When a nucleotide base gets substituted with another base.

<em>Substitution of a base can lead to coding of different amino acid and hence, protein. It can also lead to coding of the same amino acid, otherwise known as silent mutation. Base substitution can also lead to the amino-acid-coding codon becoming a stop codon, leading to an incomplete protein.</em>

The correct answer is substitution.
