If two species have many amino acid differences, are they closely or distantly related? Explain how scientists know this.

1 answer:

4 0

Different amino acids means difference DNA sequences, which means they are distantly related.

Further understanding: if you look at identical twins, they are closely related to each other because they have almost the same DNA, which will code for the same amino acids, which will lead to the same phenotype or appearance.

To summarize, the greater the amino acid differences the less related they are and vice versa

Hope that helps

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) block the actions of the COX enzymes and their production of eicosanoids from ___

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Arachidonic acids

Explanation:

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are drugs used due to their analgesic, anti-inflammatory effects.

It inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme that takes part in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane (TX) and the production of eicosanoids.

Eicosanoids are made by the enzymatic or non-enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid or from other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are close to arachidonic acid which are 20 carbon units in length.

They are important cell signaling molecules that inhibit inflammation, allergy, fever,regulate abortion of pregnancy and normal childbirth, regulating cell growth.
