When an organism’s dna mutates, its physical characteristics (or phenotype) can change, or it can impact the way DNA codes the genetic information (genotype).

If you are interested in the evolutionary relationship of animals that have four limbs, which of the following would be the outg
trapecia [35]

Answer:

  • First outgroup → Ray-Finned Fishes
  • Second outgroup → Sharks

Explanation:

The outgroup is the most distant taxonomic group that shares no traits or characters with the lineages of interest, which compose the ingroup. You can compare the outgroup with the ingroup to determine the evolutive relationship and which characters are primitive or derived.    

Even though the outgroup shares a common ancestor with the ingroup, this is placed far away in evolution, making the outgroup to be the taxonomic group less related to the other lineages. The lineages in the ingroup share another common ancestor that is more recent in history.

To select the outgroup, you need to focus on what you are interested in. There might be several outgroups, but you should choose the one that is more related or closer to the ingroups. This selection is important because you need to make comparisons to understand the evolution of specific traits.  

In the exposed example, we need to focus on animals that have four limbs. Then, we might assume that the ingroup is composed of Amphibians Crocodiles Dinosaurs. Sharks and Ray-Finned Fish do not have four limbs, so they might be considered outgroups.

From these two outgroups, sharks have a cartilaginous skeleton, while Ray-Finned Fishes have a bony skeleton. This fact makes ray-finned fishes more related to the ingroup than the sharks. So,

  • First outgroup → Ray-Finned Fishes
  • Second outgroup → Sharks

How do I do Punnett squares
Elena L [17]
Make each column an allele for one parent, and make each row an allele for the other parent. Then you "multiply" each letter for the alleles into the resulting boxes. Each combination represents a possible result for the offspring. 
 
Hope that helps.

Which human activity has the lowest effect on global stability?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

I think the answer is C

''Reusing plastic bags''

Explanation:

Removing carnivores from a forest  has a great impact on a environment since the population of the herbivores will increases drastically and the dynamic equilibrium of the area will be greatly effected.

If we look at choice B '' Heating homes with fossil fuels'', this will also have a big impact on the earth since fossil fuels are non-renewable and take centuries to form. Heating homes with them will result in loss of fossil fuels.

Now let's look at choice D ''Adding heavy metals to the water supply''. Heavy metals are dangerous to the human health and even cause cancer. This will cause thousands of deaths and will also have a great impact on the global stability.

This leaves choice C ''Reusing plastic bags''. This will cause less pollution and less harm to wildlife but doesn't have any big threat to the global stability. As in changing the world population or causing deaths in large numbers.

so I think choice C is the answer
