Answer:

d. tunicate larvae possess the synapomorphies of adult chordates and thus reveal close evolutionary relationships with chordates.

Explanation:

In evolutionary biology, a synapomorphy is a shared, derived character/trait which is present in an ancestor and its descendants. Synapomorphies are useful markers to establish phylogenetic relationships between sets of taxa. Tunicates (subphylum Tunicata) are sessile marine invertebrates that are considered chordates (phylum Chordata) because the larval stage has characters/traits that are similar to other chordates. Larval tunicates have a nerve cord, a notochord, tail and gill slits (conserved in adults).

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Phosphofructokinase will be activated

Explanation:

Phosphofructokinase (PFK-1) is an enzyme of glycolysis that catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. The enzyme uses ATP as a phosphate group donor for this phosphorylation. It is a regulatory enzyme and the reaction catalyzed by it is irreversible. The activity of PFK-1 is increased whenever the cell’s ATP supply is depleted or when the ATP breakdown products, ADP and AMP, are in excess.
