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.

Answer:

DNA is made up of a sugar phosphate backbone .

it has4 bases namely adenine ,thymine ,guanine and cytosine shortened to A T G C

adenine and thymine are connected by 2 hydrogen bonds and guanine and cytosine are connected by 3 hydrogen bonds

the two strands are anti parallel in nature ie, if one strand is from 3 to 5 the strand is from 5 to 3.. there are three types of DNA depending on the environment... they are adna bdna and zdna

What impact does the coriolis effect have on the direction the air travels?
Likurg_2 [28]

The Coriolis Effect can be seen in action in the general circulation of the atmosphere. The winds at all latitudes to the north of 0° deflect to the right of their intended path in the Northern Hemisphere. The Coriolis Effect does not impact the wind speed, only the wind direction.
