A biologist analyzes the DNA sequences of one gene in three different primates . The biologist finds that primates A and B have

almost exactly the same DNA sequences for that gene. The DNA sequences in primate C are significantly different from those of A and B. This information allows the biologist to infer that:________

The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:

  • primates A and B are more closely related to each other than either is to primate C.
  • all three primates appeared on Earth at about the same time.
  • either primate A or primate B must be a direct ancestor of primate C.
  • primate C must have been the ancestor of both primate A and primate B.

Answer:

Primates A and B are more closely related to each other than either is to primate C.

Explanation:

In the given question, on the basis of the given information, it can be predicted that the Primate A and B are more closely related to C as the DNA sequences of these two primates are almost similar. The similarity of the sequence suggests that these primates have descended or diverged from a common ancestor.

The DNA sequence of C is different from both A and B which shows that both A and B are different from the C.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

Answer:

The DNA sequencing is important for the determination of the evolutionary relationship with the organisms. The ancestory and descendants can also be identified by DNA sequencing.

Three primates A,B and C DNA sequences has been identified. It is given that primates A and B has same sequence and they are more closely related with each other. The primates C is unique and do not share relation with the primates A and B.

a scientist conducted an expirement to determine the effect of the enviroment on the color of fur of a himalayan rabit
Evgen [1.6K]

The Himalayan rabbit's environment entirely determines the color of its coat.  

<h3>How does the environment affect the coat color on the fur of a Himalayan rabbit? </h3>

The color of newborn Himalayan rabbits is either white or light grey. Beginning at the age of four weeks and ending at six months, coloring the coat is a process. The temperature of the environment affects the color of the coat, which grows darker in colder climates and lighter in warmer ones. The Himalayan rabbit's hair turns black when it is subjected to subfreezing conditions. That area's fur finally turned black. The rabbit's newly grown fur will be black in color if the white fur is removed and the animal is kept at a low temperature. Considering this, it is clear that temperature affects the expression of genes that control this organism's fur color.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Increase the genetic diversity by introducing other subspecies of cougar to the population.

Explanation:

  • Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic makeup of species. It includes the number of species that have differences within the species and is distinguished from the genetic variability.  
  • The genetic diversity services allow for the population to adapt to the environment and continue to generate more. Thus introducing the subspecies of cougar can be done to save the species from getting extinct.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

A.  Nuclear reactors increase thermal pollution

Explanation:

From the analogy provided in this context, we can vividly see that the author is suggesting that the use of nuclear energy causes thermal pollution.

  • Nuclear energy is an alternate energy source as identified in the text.
  • Since a huge amount of heat energy is generated and they are not all used up, they are released into the ecosystem.
  • The earth is usually depicted as heat reservoir.
  • Increased release of heat to the environment will cause thermal pollution.
  • This increases the ambient temperature of water and degrades it.

Why will many species of bird migrate to warmer climate during the winter
Doss [256]
Bird migrations began with the recession of the glaciers during the ice age. You will notice a great increase in insects in the spring time and early summer.The birds moved North to take advantage of this increase in the food supply that followed the warming in the spring and early summer. Their reproductive organs temporarily developed so they could lay eggs and raise a family. Look at the early flush of Night crawlers in the moist times of the early rains. By mid summer most of the insects have matured, mated and died. Their eggs have hatched and turned to larva and moved underground until next spring. The shortening of the days causes the reproductive functions to decrease and signals the birds that the food will soon become scarce. They move back to the area that makes it the easiest to find food and avoid freezing. which of course is the warmer climates nearer the equator. Not all birds move past the Tropics at approximately 30 degrees. Some like Chickadees may move down from Mi or Mn or Canada only as far south as Indiana. Some migrations may be quite short. For example from the mountains down to the plains. They don't generally reproduce in the warmer winter climes they migrate to. In the spring time they migrate along paths of the retreating glaciers. As the climate warms away from the tropics the birds follow the emerging insects etc to the birds selected breeding grounds.with increased insects and longer days to feed the hatching's. It is necesary to understand why they move to cooler climates in the summer to under stand why they move to eh warmer ones in the fall. As the days shorten the food supply dwindles and the babies have fledged. They move to warmer climates in winter to rest and refuel for the next years migration.
