Asexual reproduction involves only one parent and the offspring is identical to the parent. An example of an organism that reproduces asexually is Archaea or bacteria. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and the offspring's genes are equally contributed by each parent. An example of organisms that reproduce sexually are some land mammals. The chromosomes of a parent and offspring in asexual reproduction are identical and there is no difference in the chromosomes.
Answer:
20 million years
Explanation:
If we have a neutral mutation rate of one mutation per 5 million years, then the total of eight mutation between the two different species would be 20 million years. This is because both species will have 4 mutations in those 20 million years, so combined, both by 4, will have 8 mutations between them. So few mutations on so much time will result in two species that are very similar to each other even after 20 million years of evolution, even making them hardly distinguishable, especially if it comes to defining fossil records from them both. A nice example of this are the members of the felidae (cat) family, which are all very closely related, and are almost identical, thus making it extremely hard to distinguish two species of the same or similar size by their fossils.
Answer:
A sequence of three nitrogenous bases in a messenger-rna molecule is known as <em><u>Codon</u></em>
Explanation:
Codon is a triplet of three nitrogenous bases present in mRNA. It can be any three from uracil, adenine, guanine or cytosine. They are arranged in specific order and code for specific amino acids.
Answer:
Endoderm
Explanation:
The embryo has three germ layers. The ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The endoderm is the innermost layer. Other than the endocrine glands, the other tissues that develop from the endoderm are the gastrointestinal tract, urinary and auditory system, and the respiratory tract.
