Species A: ATTCGGATTATTCGAGG Species B: GTCCGGTTCATTGGACA Species C: ATCCAGATCGTTCGTGG Which of the following inferences can be

made, based on this information?
A. Species B and Species C most likely diverged from Species A since they both have more mutations than Species A.
B. Species B most likely evolved from Species C since they are closest to each other in terms of number of mutations.
C. Species A and Species C most likely share the most recent common ancestor since they differ by the fewest mutations.
D. Species C most likely diverged from Species A more recently than Species B since Species C has fewer mutations than Species B.

Answer: D. Species C most likely diverged from Species A more recently than Species B since Species C has fewer mutations than Species B.

Explanation: The mutations between species A, B and C can be found counting the differences in the nucleotides (letters). So, the mutations in the sequences between Species A and Species B are 8, between Species A and C are 5 mutations and between Species B and C are 9 mutations. Then, we can proposed that species A and C are more close related because the sequences have fewer mutations and this could happen because they diverged more recently, compared to Species B that have more mutations.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Common examples include carbon, sulfur, oxygen, iron, copper, aluminium. Elements are represented by symbols. Compounds are substances made from atoms of different elements joined by chemical bonds. They can only be separated by a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Substances can be categorised as either elements or compounds. Both of these are made up of atoms, the only difference is an element is made of one type of atom whereas compounds are made of two or more different types of atoms.
