The evidence supporting the idea that modern birds and reptiles share a common ancestor is that feathers are a derived characteristic that first evolved in reptiles. Feathers represent an evolutionary derived trait.

In evolutionary biology, an autapomorphy is a distinctive phenotypic trait referred to as a derived trait, which is unique to a particular group/taxon.

The derived traits are phenotypic features that arise during the evolution of a particular taxonomic group.

These traits (derived traits) differ from the phenotypic trait of the ancestor of the group.

Identify the eukaryotic cellular locations of the fundamental processes that are involved in the central dogma of molecular biol

Papessa [141]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The central dogma gives a description of how genetic information travels in biological cells from DNAs to proteins. DNAs are first transcribed into messenger RNAs in a process known as transcription and the resulting mRNAs are used in the synthesis of proteins in a process known as translation.

In eukaryotic cells, transcription process happens within the confines of the nucleus because the genetic material in the form of DNAs are always located in the nucleus. Thereafter, the mRNAs generated from transcription are transported to the cytoplasm of the cell where they become translated into proteins.

Hence;

Transcription happens in the nucleus of the cell.

Translation happens in the cytoplasm of the cell.
