S‑adenosylmethionine (abbreviated adoMet or SAM) is a methyl group donor in numerous metabolic pathways, including the metabolis

m of lipids and amino acids. Which of the following descriptions of S-adenosylmethionine are accurate?
A. The adenosyl group is linked to methionine via C4 and the β carbon of methionine.
B. The methyl group originally attached to the sulfur atom of methionine is transferred to an acceptor.
C. After ATP is cleaved, inorganic phosphate is added to C5 of the intermediate.
D. The transfer of the methyl group from adoMet to an acceptor yields S‑adenosylhomocysteine.
E. ATP is cleaved to PiPi and PPiPPi in adoMet synthesis.

Answer: Option D.

The transfer of the methyl group from adomet to an acceptor yields s adenosylhomocysteine.

Explanation:

S- adenosine methionine is a co substrate and one of the naturally occurring sulfonium ions in the body. It is synthesized from methionine which is abundant in animal derived protein. It is metabolised in the liver where it is converted to S adenosine methionine by the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase. It involve the transfer of methyl group. It is use in medicine as alternative aid to reduce depression.

Finger [1]

Answer :3. similarities among vertebrate forelimbs suggest that they evolved from a common ancestor.

Explanation:

The study of differences and similarities in the anatomy of different species is comparative anatomy. It is based on the concept that  

1.)Homologous structures  which are present in different species, because they have a common decent and must have evolved  divergently from a shared ancestor. Theses anatomic structures may not be used for the same purposes. For example the forelimb of fox and whale.

2. Some  structures (Analogous)which are similar in different organisms must have evolved  ,(acquired through natural selection) through convergent evolution in similar environment,  and not inherited from a recent ancestor. These organisms usually use these structures for a common purpose. For example the streamline body shape   of shark and porpoises, which though are used for a common purpose of swimming, were inherited from different ancestors.

.  Example  of comparative anatomy is the common  bone structures in forelimbs of fox, whales, bats, and humans. These appendages is made up of  the same basic parts; despite serving  different functions.  

Comparative anatomy helps scientists in classification of organisms based on their similar characteristics of their anatomical structures.
