1). Under Classifying Life, click Launch Interactive. Scientists use a tool called a phylogenetic tree to show the evolutionary pathways and relationships between organisms. A phylogenetic tree is a diagram used to reflect evolutionary relationships among organisms or groups of organisms.

2). Sometimes referred to as DNA-DNA hybridization, this process hybridizes the genetic information from two different organisms to determine similarities between them. Scientists separate strands of DNA from both species using heat, which breaks the bonds between the base pairs that link the two sides of the double helix.

Sort the statements based on whether they describe DNA replication in eukaryotes or prokaryotes. Replication takes place in the

Ilya [14]

In eukaryotes, replication takes place in the nucleus as prokaryotes do not have a true nucleus and replication takes place in the cytoplasm. The nucleus of the eukaryotes is the location where genetic material (DNA) is found; in prokaryotes, the genetic material is condensed in the cytoplasm called the nucleoid. There are multiple replication forks or multiple origins of replication in eukaryotes in contrast to prokaryotes which only has one origin of replication. Lastly, replication in eukaryotes occurs at multiple points along the chromosome; in contrast with prokaryotes where it occurs at just one point on the chromosome.

Why are protozoa called microscopic organism

solniwko [45]

Answer:

protozoan, organism, usually single-celled and heterotrophic (using organic carbon as a source of energy), belonging to any of the major lineages of protists and, like most protists, typically microscopic. All protozoans are eukaryotes and therefore possess a “true,” or membrane-bound, nucleus.

Considering the lungs are spongy tissue with air sacs, why would a difference in pressure cause the lungs to rupture? What is as

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

When you ascend, water pressure decreases while the air in your lungs increases. Your lungs will overstretch and rupture. Asphyxiation is the deprivation of oxygen resulting in unconsciousness or death.

Explanation:

It usually happens to scuba drivers. Pressure changes will cause you injuries when you go down the water and then you go up. When you descend, water pressure increases while the air in your lungs decreases. When you ascend, water pressure decreases while the air in your lungs increases. Your lungs will overstretch and rupture. Asphyxiation is the deprivation of oxygen resulting in unconsciousness or death.
