Answer:

Evolution can also occur as a result of genes being transferred from one population to another. This gene flow occurs when there is migration. The loss or addition of people can easily change gene pool frequencies even if there are no other evolutionary mechanisms operating.

It makes sense that cell membranes are made of phospholipids because water cant mix in with lipids, so the phospholipids will be able to effectively block out any unwanted water or chemicals suspended in water outside of the cell.

Using the attached figure, what statement is true? Genetics382FlowerTreeExercise06.pdf 92 KB Genetics382FlowerTreeExercise06.pdf

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Flowers on Peak 1 and flowers on Peak 4 are genetically identical".

Explanation:

Phylogenetic trees are graphical representations of the relationships among species, at which the closer two organisms are, the closer they are put together in the tree. Modern phylogenetic trees are constructed based on the anaylsis of genetic material, usually mitochondrial DNA. In this case, flowers with different phenotype and genotype were classified in a phylogenetic tree. Since flowers on peak 1 and flowers on peak 4 are grouped together it is safe to assume that the two organisms are genetically identical. I attached the missing figure.
