Answer:

A DNA sequence codes for the same proteins in different species

Explanation:

All living organisms store their genetic information in DNA (genetic material). The manner through which information in the genes are encoded is the GENETIC CODE. The genetic code comprises of all the codons that specifies amino acids in living organisms. The genetic code has several characteristics, which includes that the GENETIC CODE IS UNIVERSAL

The genetic code is said to be universal because all known living organisms use the same genetic code to encode their genetic information. This means that a DNA sequence codes for the same proteins in several different species. For example, codon AUG encodes the amino acid METHIONINE in every living organism.

An example of chemical digestion is the breakdown of __________ into __________.
vodomira [7]
starch into glucose
proteins
into amino acids
lipids
into fatty acids

There are many more examples of chemical digestion which takes place in the body. Chemical digestion is the breaking of larger more complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones that can be taken up by the cells more easily and readily by the use of chemical agents.. Chemical digestion is carried out primarily using biological molecules called enzymes. For example, the breakdown of starch is done by an enzyme known as amylase, which is present in the saliva.

Identical population-splitting events occurred simultaneously on two neighboring islands, Islands B and C, which are each initia
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

This is due to the event of Speciation that happened for the rodents in Island B but not for the rodents in Island C.

Explanation:

  • Due to splitting of the population,
  • The sub-population of rodents formed in Island B are B1 and B2.
  • The sub-population of rodents formed in Island C are C1 and C2.
  • In case of Island B, each of the B1 and B2 sub-populations that got split from each other developed certain mutations that were necessary for them to adapt to the particular diverse environment each of them were exposed to, through the period of 50,000 years. These mutations were so varied that reproductive isolation was generated between them that resulted in each of them to develop into different species.Hence, speciation happens here and B1 and B2 are incapable of inter-breeding.
  • In case of Island C, each of the C1 and C2 sub-populations that got split might have got exposed to similar environmental change or no environmental change or the environmental change might have been too small to cause drastic change in each of the sub-populations. As a result of this the two sub-populations might have acquired certain mutations to adapt to the environment each of them were exposed to, through a period of 100,000 years. These mutations might not have been too variable or contrasting to cause reproductive isolation between C1 and C2. Hence, no new speciation happens here and C1 and C2 are capable of inter-breeding.
