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.

Below is the response:

<h3>What does seed germination mean?</h3>

Germination is the first stage of a seed's development into a seedling. To germinate, seeds require the appropriate combination of temperature, oxygen, and water. In a state of suspended animation known as dormancy, seeds wait to germinate until the environment is favorable for their survival and growth.

The option missing in the query is:

Dry cotton wool

wet cotton wool

covered with water

The initial conditions needed for a seed to germinate are as follows:

warm temperatures are needed for effective enzyme operation.

water, where chemical reactions can occur.

oxygen, for breathing.

Observations:

Seeds planted here won't sprout because of the dry cotton wool. Since some of the prerequisites are not met, they won't exhibit any modifications. (Water isn't present.)

Seeds placed on wet cotton wool will germinate since all the circumstances are there for germinations to occur.

liberstina [14]

The correct answer is option (D) Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which are polar.

Lipids are organic compounds made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A glycerol is a organic molecule with three hydroxyl groups and a fatty acid consists of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxyl group.

Lipids are hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules with no charge on their ends. Waxes are long chain nonpolar lipids. The water repelling property of the waxes prevent the water sticking to it and appear as water beads on its surface. The hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of the fatty acids are hydrophobic in nature making them repel water. The presence of wax on the surface of the plants and animals protects them from dehydration.

Thus, the nonpolar property of lipids make it insoluble in the polar solvents like water as there is no interaction or sharing of electrons between them.
