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.

You find a rock with fossils in it.is this rock more likely to be a sedimentary rock than an igneous rock?explain
noname [10]
Yes because igneous rocks are made from lava that cools in or outside of a volcano and sedimentary rocks are simply made of sand rocks and other things that just stick together in layers and forms a rock. I don't know if I'm being clear though... Sorry I speak French but I hope I helped :)

What enzyme or function is being affected in mutant (a), causing many mismatched base pairs?
igor_vitrenko [27]
DNA polymerase is the enzyme that is responsible for adding correct nucleotide pairs to new and growing DNA strands. Mismatched base pair errors will occur if this enzymes is not able to function optimally. There are other system that work DNA polymerase, these are proof reading system and mismatch repair system. Less than optimum function of these system will lead to uncorrected mismatched base pairs.

Pick the correct match.

Animal cells have plasma membrane while plant cells have cell wall and cell membrane. A plant cell has 1 large vacuole while an animal cell has more than 1 vacuole which is smaller compared to the vacuoles of a plant cell. The vacuole of a plant cell is hypertonic because it takes up to 90% of the cells volume. A plant cell has chlorophyll or chloroplasts (which gives colors to plants), animal cells does not have chloroplasts. Cell division is also called mitosis (this term is used for both animal and plant cells, no difference on that). For plant cells, centrifugal division occurs, its starts in the middle going outwards creating the cell plate. For animal cells, division is centripetal that it comes from the outside going toward the center and that is called the cleavage furrow.
