<h2>Collagen genes is the best choice</h2>

Explanation:

Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals

  • Collagen is found in bones,muscles,tendons and skin
  • It is the one which holds the body together
  • It strengthen and support many tissues in the body
  • Collagen genes encode many types of collagen which have a structural role in the extracellular matrix and has a great tensile strength
  • At least 26 different collagen polypeptide chains are present which are encoded by 26 unique collagen genes
  • Since collagen is the main protein of connective tissue in animals and is considered as the most abundant protein in mammals it can be the best choice to base the phylogeny
  • Rest all options are specific for a particular function in particular animals

A scientist conducted a study of an organism and found that its body cells contained 40 chromosomes. While conducting her observ
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The difference that the scientist would expect to see between body cells and sex cells with respect to cell division is that body cells divide by mitosis for the growth and repair of cells, while sex cells divide by meiosis for sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

The behavior of the different cell types with respect to their division depends on the functions that each type has.

  1. <u>Somatic cells</u> are those that define the structure and function of the organism, forming tissues by binding together. The process of mitotic division —to obtain from an original cell two identical daughter cells— is important for the growth, development and repair of an individual's tissues.
  2. <u>Sex cells </u>or gametes have half of the chromosomal charge —they divide by meiosis, a reductive cell division— and are involved in the process of sexual reproduction.

<em>     The characteristics described for each cell type explain why the other options are not correct.</em>
