Answer:

A trait that is altered easily by small changes in diet.

Explanation:

The phylogenetic tree explains the evolutionary relationship between the organisms. The phylogeny of the organisms will depend on the difference and similarities in their genetic or physical characters.

The traits that are used in phylogeny must be constant and present in the ancestors or in atleast a group. The trait that can be easily modified or changed cannot be used for the study of the evolutionary relationship. Hence, trait which is altered by diet cannot be used in phylogenetic analysis.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

When comparing genomes from different species, scientists are often interested in the genome density, or the number of genes per
Setler79 [48]

The human genome density ranges between 12-15 genes per Megabase pairs. This is because humans have approximately 2000 genes in a total of approximately 3 billion base pairs. However, some primitive organisms have an even larger gene density than humans. An example is bacteria with gene densities ranging between 100 – 500 genes/Mb. Gene density is therefore not a good characteristic in determining the complexity of an organism.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The Cell to Mentee

A cell is the basic unit of life of a human. The body cell contains cytoplasm in which organelles are present . There is a nucleus found in eukaryotic cell. It contains the genetic material in the form of DNA with proteins and chromosomes. Inside there is nuclear membrane. Outside the nucleus, there are many other organelles like mitochondria, ribosomes, golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and many more.

What is the importance of root cap
dusya [7]

The root cap is a small structure but one that serves a very important function for a plant. Protecting the root apical meristem allows for primary growth in the root, which paves the way for lengthening of the plant as well as cell specialization.

Electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of electrons are?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Electrical  charged atom or group  of atoms formed  by lose or gain  of  electrons are  ions


Explanation

Ions   are formed  when atom gain or lose  electron.  

They are two  type  of  ion that is cation  and  anion.

Cation  are positively charged ion   and are  formed when atom loses  one or more electrons. for example Na+  formed  when Na atom  loses 1 electron.

Anion  are negatively charged  ion and are formed  when atom  gain  one or more electrons. for example Cl- is formed when Cl atom gain 1 electron.
