Answer:

D. LINE-promoted transposition.

Explanation:

Pseudogenes are traditionally defined as sequences that closely resemble known genes but do not produce a functional protein, which in many cases were actually genes, or copies of genes, degenerated by mutational processes that alter the reading frame of coding regions (ie that encode the amino acid sequence) or that interfered with the promoter elements that controlled their expression.

Pseudogenes originate by the same mechanisms as protein coding genes, followed by the subsequent accumulation of disabling mutations (e.g., insertions, nucleotide deletions, and / or substitutions) that disrupt the reading sequence in the coding regions, or lead to the insertion of a premature termination codon or the aforementioned reading frame change. However, it is believed that the transposition promoted by LINE is the main transposition responsible for the appearance of pseudogenes.

Using the phylogenetic tree which is more related fungi and animals or plants and fungi. Explain why​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The study of cladistics, however, results in a phylogeny tree in which fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants. In other words, animals have a more recent common ancestor with fungi than with plants, and the mushrooms in your salad are more closely related to you than to the lettuce.

The major function of the placenta is to
beks73 [17]

Answer:

(2) exchange food, oxygen, and waste between

mother and fetus

Explanation:

In most mammals like humans, the fetus produced as a result of the fertilization of the sperm and egg, develops in the uterus or womb of the female. However, this developing fetus cannot yet fend for what it requires for survival and is still dependent on the mother e.g nutrients, oxygen etc. How do this substances get to the fetus? Here comes the role of the PLACENTA.

Placenta is an organ in the uterus that serves as a connection between the mother and the fetus in her womb. The placenta enables the mother to pass digested nutrients to the fetus and exchange gases (oxygen and Carbondioxide) between them via the umbilical cord. The placenta also enables the mother remove waste produced by the fetus into her bloodstream.
