Inversion of DNA sequences within chromosomes is a common process in evolution. The following gene arrangements in a particular

chromosome are found in four different species:
First sequence: ABCDEF
Second sequence: ABFEDC
Third sequence: FEDABC
Fourth sequence: ADEFBC

Assuming that the arrangement in the first sequence is the ancestor/reference arrangement, in what evolutionary order did the four species arise, such that the fewest number of inversions occur between each species (place the first sequence as the earliest species in your ordering)?

Answer:

The correct answer is "Fist sequence; Fourth sequence; Second sequence; Third sequence".

Explanation:

Inversion of DNA is a process that often occurs during evolution of chromosomes. It occurs when the breakage of a chromosome in two places, results in the reinsertion of a DNA but in a reversed fashion. The evolutionary order of predecessors of inversion of DNA can be established by looking on the number of nucleotides that are different in the sequences of DNA. In this case, the first sequence is the ancestor and it haves the sequence "ABCDEF". The second in the evolutionary order is the fourth sequence since it originates from the first sequence only by changing the "BC" nucleotides to the end of the sequence "ADEFBC". The third in the evolutionary order is the second sequence since it still starts in AB, but has the other four nucleotides different: "ABFEDC". The last in the evolutionary order is the third sequence, which is completely different and reversed respect to the first sequence: "FEDABC".

What would be the best explanation for why myelinated fibers conduct signals faster than unmyelinated fibers?
Sliva [168]

Answer: The diffusion of ions along the axoplasm is faster,in myelinated compare to unmyelinated,

Neurons are the structural and functioning units of nervous system.They are the vehicles for transmission of impulses as electrical signals from one part of the cells,and from one part of the body to another.

The basic structural components of a typical neuron are the cellbody, the axon, and the dendrites.

Based on structure neurons are classified as myelinated and unmyelinated.This is based on the the surrounding layer of myelin sheath around the axon. The myelin provides the insulating layer for the axon.And ensures fast movement of impluses.

In myelinated neurons the myelin sheath are interrupted at intervals by gaps along the length of the axon called Nodes of Ranvier. These gaps contains more Na-K channels for influx and out-flux of K and Na+ ions for transmission of impulses.

The cytoplasm of axon is called axoplasm,Since this is surrounded by myelin sheath which contains Na-K+ channels,The rate of diffusion of ions along  these channels is faster for depolarization to take place than in unmyelinated neurons. Inaddtion as these ions  diffusion increases,its jump faster at the nodes of Ranvier (saltatory conduction) to the next axoplasm which further speed up the rate of transmission.

Unmyeinated lacks myelin sheath,therefore the exchange and  the rate of diffusion of ions along the axons is low.
