Answer:
The answer is true because nothing else is not a solid liquid or gas
Answers:
- The sequence encodes a gene that is critical for life and cannot be easily mutated while retaining function.
- The sequence is contained in a retrovirus that has infected both species.
1- Explanation:
6.8 million years is a considerable period of time and if the cats were evolved in two different specie then technically they should have substantially different sequences of gene. However, there are some genes that are critical for the survival of the organisms because they encode a function which is equally important for the organisms of a certain category, even if they are different specie.
For example, the essential genes that are involved in maintenance of metabolism, initiation of replication or translation of genes. Therefore, with the period of time, the mutation of even a single nucleotide can be lethal for these genes, and if it happens organism will simply die. So, if one organisms is died that cannot take part in the process of evolution and would clearly be cut off from the process, However, those who survive can undergo some other mutations and become separate specie.
2- Explanation:
A retro virus inserts itself in to the genome of host organisms and become a part of them. It is very difficult to detect the presence of the retro virus until the organism undergoes infection due to its attack. Cats are a favorable host for retroviruses - called lentiviruses which attack the cats to cause a critical syndrome Feline Immunodeficiency Virus or FIV. Therefore, it is possible that same retrovirus having a particular sequence has attacked both cats and the sequences were taken from those cats.

Answer:
a mutation in the germinal line changed the phenotype to bright flowers which were capable of attracting more pollinators compared to yellow flowers. Subsequently, this mutation was selected by natural selection, thereby increasing its frequency in the population
Explanation:
A mutation is any change in the nucleotide DNA sequence of the genome of a particular organism. Mutations can be divided into 1-germinal mutations (i.e., mutations that occurred in the gamete cells) which can be passed on to offspring, and 2-somatic mutations (i.e., mutations that occurred in the somatic cells), which cannot be inherited. Moreover, mutations can be neutral, deleterious or beneficial depending on the environment in which the organism lives. When a germinal mutation is beneficial, the organism carrying the mutation will have more chances to survive and reproduce (i.e., a higher adaptive fitness), thereby the organism will have more chance to pass this mutation to the next generation and the mutation will increase its frequency in the population.
