11. Why are organisms with more similar amino acid sequences more closely related?

Biology
1 answer:
jok3333 [9.3K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer and Explanation:

Because the DNA sequence determines a protein's amino acid sequence, a gene shared by two closely related organisms should have similar, or even identical, amino acid sequences. That's because closely related species most likely diverged from one another fairly recently in the evolutionary span. Thus, they haven't had as much time to accumulate random mutations in their genetic codes.

What percent of one’s daily caloric intake should come from carbohydrates?
NISA [10]
This answer will vary a lot, depending on who you will ask. If you're asking proponents of the LCHF (low carbs, high fat) diet, they would say you should reduce your intake of carbohydrates down to around 10 to 20 percent, making either A or C your desired answer.

If you would ask people who propose the current nutritional guidelines as the best way of eating, the amount of caloric intake that should come from carbs according to them would be more in the range of around 40%, making B the correct answer.

There isn't really any clear cut answer here.

What spheres does the water, or hydrosphere, interact with in this example?
Shkiper50 [21]

All the spheres interact with other spheres. For example, rain (hydrosphere) falls from clouds in the atmosphere to the lithosphere and forms streams and rivers that provide drinking water for wildlife and humans as well as water for plant growth (biosphere).

Which mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?
melomori [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Which of the following mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?

A) a duplication of all or most introns

B) a large inversion whose ends are each in intergenic regions

C) a nucleotide substitution in an exon coding for a transmembrane domain

D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

E) a frameshift mutation one codon away from the 3' end of the nontemplate strand

Answer: D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

Explanation:

Deletion or insertion of a single nucleotide in an axon coding for an active site is called frameshift mutation.

The sequence of codons is read during translation, in order to synthesize a amino acids chain and form a protein from the nucleotide sequence. Frameshift mutations occur when the usual codon sequence is broken by the deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides. For example, if only one nucleotide is removed from the axon sequence during the RNA splicing process, then there will be a disrupted reading frame for all codons before and after the mutation. This may result in several incorrect amino acids being introduced into the protein. Disruption in protein sequence will cause phenotypic change.

Hence, the correct option is D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site .

Which best represents the law of conservation of mass?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Mass of reactants = Mass of products.

Explanation:

We co serve mass in this law so the start and end have to have the same mass. this the equal sign.
