Let's calculate the difference in nucleotides. The number of difference multiplied by rate of mutations will help to determine how long ago these two species shared a common ancestor.
Species A: GTACCTAAGTTCACCGAATT
Species B: GAACCTAAGGGCACCGAACT
These species differ in 4 nucleotides.
This number should be multiplied <span>by </span>the rate of mutations
Answer:
D. N
Explanation:
Meiosis is a kind of cell division which produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell and have a reduced number of chromosomes (by half).
Meiosis occurs only in reproductive cells to produce gametes. If a diploid (2n) cell undergoes meiosis, a haploid (n) daughter cell will result. This means that the chromosome number has been reduced by half in order to maintain the chromosomal number of the next generation.
Answer: B) energy released from exergonic reactions.
Explanation:
Cell metabolism is the set of reactions that occur in the cellular environment to synthesize or degrade biomolecules to produce energy. Synthesis metabolism of biomolecules is known as anabolic (anabolism) and catabolic degradation (catabolism).
Endergonic reaction (product has more energy than reagents) and requires energy to occur. Anabolism occurs when the cell has sufficient energy or substrate. Catabolism, in turn, occurs in situations in which the body needs energy, such as between meals and fasting.
The reactions of anabolism and catabolism are opposite but occur in an articulated manner, allowing the maximization of available energy. Thus, while catabolism occurs spontaneously, an exergonic reaction with ATP production, anabolism is non-spontaneous, or endergonic, requiring energy to occur. In other words energy that drives endergonic reactions is often obtained from B) energy released from exergonic reactions.
