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.

When the outer electron shell is full in an element, this creates a __________ ___________
Ierofanga [76]

<u>Answer: </u>

When the outer electron shell is full in an element, this creates a Noble gas.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Noble gases are the elements that belong to group 18 in the periodic table.  Noble gases are also called as inert gases. The outermost shell of the noble gases are fully filled by electrons. Due to this the noble gases don’t react with any other elements and remain isolated.

There are 6 noble gases in the periodic table. They are helium (He), Argon (Ar), Neon (Ne) Krypton (Kr), Radon (Rn) and Xenon (Xe). Noble gases conduct electricity. They are fluorescent, odorless and colorless. Noble gases are used a maintain stable elements in a constant and safe environment.
