Comparable segments of the mitochondrial DNA sequences of two similar species are shown below. This segment of DNA mutates at a

rate of one base pair per 33 million years. Based on these DNA sequences, how long ago did the two species diverge from a common ancestor?
Species A mtDNA sequence: TACAAGATAC
Species B mtDNA sequence: TACGCGTAAC

Answer:

132 million years ago

Explanation:

The two DNA mit have a difference of 4 bases. If the frequency of mutation is one every 33 million years. We can stipulate that the time that has passed since the two species diverged from a common ancestor is 132 million years. This can be calculated by multiplying the number of variations by the frequency.

4 (variations) x 33 million years = 132 million years.

Species A mt DNA :  TACAAGATAC

Species B mtDNA:    TACGCGTAAC

In ________, the sequence of bases in DNA determines the sequence of bases in mRNA, and the process occurs in the ________.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: transcription, nucleus

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cell the process whereby the sequence of DNA bases is used to determine the sequence of bases in mRNA us called transcription and it occurs in the nucleus.

The DNA serves as the template strand. RNA polymerase binds to the promoter on the template DNA strand and synthesizes mRNA with RNA nucleotides. Genetic information of DNA is transcribed to messenger RNA. In eukaryotes this process occurs in the nucleus.

State the basic requirement of sexual
lesya692 [45]

The requirements for sexual reproduction, is that the species has both a Male and Female gender if they are both this also still applies as long as they don't breed with themselves.Sexual reproduction helps prevent disfigurements, that can end up killing an entire generation of animals and also can lead to a species adapting to environments faster.
