In order to identify the most recent common ancestor of an animal, the physical and genetic makeup of the organisms must be compared. The two organisms must have striking similarities in order to be considered as closely related.

Despite the difference in their size, the domestic ferret has a great resemblance with the features of an Eastern European polecat. In addition, they have the ability to cross-breed with polecats. Therefore, the most recent ancestor of the ferret is the Eastern European polecat.


This took a long time to type cuz I am a slow typer. But I hope I got the answer correct! Hope you have a great day!:)

Suppose that after the cell below undergoes meiosis i and meiosis ii, the result is one gamete with two chromosomes, two gametes
lianna [129]
<span>The correct answer for the question is Non-disjunction. Non-disjunction occurs in cell division when chromosomes do not divide properly. It can occur during mitosis, meiosis I and meiosis II. In mitosis it occurs when sister chromatids fails to separate in Anaphase. The result is that one cell receives both chromatids, while the other receives neither. Each daughter cell then has an abnormal number of chromosomes when mitosis is complete; one cell has an extra chromosome, while the other is missing one. In anaphase of meiosis I, it happens when a pair of homologous chromosomes does not separate. In meiosis II, it happens when a pair of sister chromatids fails to separate properly during anaphase of meiosis II, one daughter cell will have an extra chromosome and one daughter cell will be missing a chromosome.</span>
