There are three major, distinct groups of organisms: bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. However, until recently bacteria and arc

haea were considered much more closely related than we know they are today. What is one of the most important ways scientists determined the evolutionary distinctiveness of these three groups?

Answer:

Comparative genomics of the three groups

Explanation:

The comparative genomics of the three groups was used to determine their evolutionary distinctiveness. Comparative genomics is a powerful tool used to study evolutionary changes among organisms, it helps to identify gene similarities and differences among organisms.  

Bacteria and archaea (formerly called archaebacteria)  were considered much more closely related, but DNA sequence analysis showed numerous differences between the two groups, and further proved that archaea was closely related to eukarya than bacteria.

However, in 1970, Dr. Carl Woese and other scientists in a bid to determine the distinction between the three groups made use of the nucletide sequence of the ribosomal RNA as an evolutionary time clock.

It is widely known that the rRNA sequences; is present in all organisms, functions differently in various organisms, is involved in protein synthesis, can be align between two organisms and can change gradually over a long period, hence this made it a good tool to determine evolutionary distinctiveness.

What evidence do you have that living organisms require both living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) things?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

To strengthen the ecosystem

They need both aspects for photosynthesis and respiration

Abiotic things can be used by plants to for soil fertility

Explanation:

Living organisms cannot exist without the nonliving aspects of the environment. For example: air, water, and sunlight, which are all nonliving, are all essential to living organisms. Both nonliving and living things make up an ecosystem.

The ocean is divided into distinct zones of marine life. Which three factors are
joja [24]

Answer:

Three factors are used.

The availability  of sunlight.

The distance from shore and

The  water depth.

Explanation:

<u>Availability of Sunlight </u>

The photic zone is the upper part of the ocean  into which sunlight penetrates.

<u>Distance from Shore </u>

The intertidal zone is the strip of land where the  land and ocean meet and overlap, or the zone  between high and low tides.

The neritic zone is the marine-life zone that  extends from the low-tide line out to the shelf  break.

The oceanic zone is the marine-life zone  beyond the continental shelf.

<u>Water Depth</u>

The pelagic zone is open zone of any depth.  Animals in this zone swim or float freely.

The benthic zone is the marine-life zone that  includes any sea-bottom surface regardless of  its distance from shore.

The abyssal zone is a subdivision of the benthic  zone characterized by extremely high pressures,  low temperatures, low oxygen, few nutrients,  and no sunlight
