<h2>B) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

  • Collagen is a hard, insoluble, and fibrous protein that makes up one-third of the protein in the human body
  • Molecules in collagen are packed together to form long and thin fibrils
  • These act as supporting structures and anchor cells to each other and also give the skin strength and elasticity
  • Collagen is the most abundant protein found in bones, tendons and muscle skin
  • Collagen forms a scaffold to provide strength and structure

Because of these characteristics, genes associated with collagen is the best choice to base the phylogeny, rest all other options are not much diverse and specific to particular group of animal kingdom

I don’t understand biology at all and I am worried about how to pass biology . Does anyone have study tips for biology or anyway
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Biology is not a hard class however it does require memorization and comprehension of certain topics. I recommend that you read over the chapters and make flashcards and test yourself. You can also ask your teacher for help. There are many videos available that do a great job at explaining each topic in biology. In addition, there are various websites that can also provide information. You should make study groups with your classmates as it is a more fun and effective way of studying.
