You are interested in studying a gene called CFTR because mutations in this gene in humans cause cystic fibrosis. You have made

a line of mice that lack the mouse CFTR gene. These mice are unable to clear bacteria from their lungs, so they get lung disease. You put a normal human CFTR gene into some of these mice and discover that the mice with the human gene are able to clear bacteria from their lungs and no longer get lung disease. From this experiment, you can conclude that:

Answer: Both the mouse and human beings are encoding the proteins having similar functions.

Explanation:

The CFTR gene in the mouse and CFTR gene in the human beings encode proteins that perform similar function,this is so because if the results are same then it means that both mouse and human beings are encoding the protein that have similar function.

Option A is incorrect  because both humans and mouse are eukaryotes so they have introns and because of that even if the gene sequences are different they can still encode protein.

Option B is incorrect because  amino acid sequences can be similar inorder to have the similar function. If glutamic acid is replaced by aspartic acid, it won't have different function the function will remain same. So, identical amino acid sequences are not required. They can be similar too.

katen-ka-za [31]

The correct answer is: the mother cell is diploid, but the products of the first division are haploid.

Meiosis is cell division with the purpose to produce the gametes: sperm and eggs. Meiosis is a two-step division process:

• meiosis I- Homologues pairs (chromosome pairs an organism receives from parents, one from mother, one from father) separate during this phase  

•  meiosis II – Separation of sister chromatids.

Vestigial structures, such as hip bones in whalesand appendixes in humans, are those that havelittle or no function for the orga
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

This structure has not been highly beneficial for the organism

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are cells, tissues, and/or organs that have no apparent function. Vestigial structures are retained during the course of the evolution, but often they are degenerate and/or atrophied (due to disuse). In general, these structures are homologous to anatomical structures that play a specific role in evolutionarily related species. Some examples of vestigial structures include, among others, the presence of the appendix in humans and wings in flightless birds.
