A letter about the evidence of evolution

Biology
1 answer:
GuDViN [60]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

I am writing this in response to a letter regarding evolution. Evolution is increasingly solid, not shaky. Darwin’s “theory” or explanation was a way of understanding what he had discovered (which did not include genes, chromosomes, DNA or nucleotide bases). Our explanations now include genetics and the commonality of mutation.  

Proofs are solid, not in question by serious scientists. Direct observation is one, which we see in the fact that this year’s flu evolved a little too far from last year’s, so flu shots are less effective this year than we would like them to be.  

Fossils tell the story well: whales with legs, dinosaurs with feathers and Tiktaalik. The latter was found in the Canadian north and is part fish, part amphibian, before there were ever any amphibians. Imperfection is a good proof: think of your useless appendix, the very bad design of your ankles, knees, and back (talk to a chiropractor about that).  You have big toes because they used to be useful thumbs for your grasping feet.

Many other animals and even plants similarly have flaws that show their evolutionary past. Two large human chromosomes reflect the coming together of two chimpanzee chromosomes each.

Hope it helps,

Please mark me as the brainliest

Thank you

Neurons have special proteins in their
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) most likely produces neuronal special proteins.

Explanation:

Conduction of electrical impulses by action potentials of neurons takes place through controlled flow of charged ions through neuronal membranes. This ion transfer is controlled by specialized neuronal channel proteins which are present in the neuronal cell membrane.  

These channel proteins allow for hydrophillic passage of ions and water molecules across the neuronal membranes.  

Ribosomes that are attached to the RER are involved in protein synthesis. They carry the code for proteins carried by the mRNA and translate into respective protein.

The RER along with some free ribosomes cluster together as Nissl bodies and are mainly involved in neuronal specialized proteins.
