Answer:

Explanation:

Well its all based on DNA which is a really strong part in your body along with every one else and your genes are what tell you what you look like ok so lets say your mom has brown eyes and your dad has blue eyes and your grandma has blue and your grandpa had blue you would be more prone to have blue eyes I hope this will help. :)

DNA. :) like say your dad has blue eyes your mom might have brown eyes you probably will get brown eyes because it’s a domainait trait

47. This cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships among some mammals

Fed [463]

Complete question:

This cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships among some mammals based on homologous structures.

(You will find the cladogram in the attached files)

Which statement is supported by this cladogram?

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales.

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

Answer:

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

Explanation:

A cladogram is a branched diagram of characteristics shared by the organisms of a group, that represents the most probable evolutive history of the linage. Cladograms reflect the phylogenetic relationships among groups through phylogenetic trees.

In the phylogenetic tree, the taxonomic groups of interest are located in the extremes of the lines called branches. The ramification point, which is also called "node" or divergence point, represents the location of the most recent common ancestor.

The common ancestor position will determine how related are two species. If they have a recent common ancestor, they are closely related to each other. On the other hand, if the common ancestor is not recent and is located far away in the tree, then the two species will be less related to each other.

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas. TRUE. Hippopotamuses share a common more recent ancestor with cows than with javelinas. This means that the hyppopotamus is more related to cows than to javelinas. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Cows, and the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Javelinas.

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses. FALSE. Tooth whales are more related to the hyppopotamus. Their common ancestor is more recent than the common ancestor between toothed whales and mouse deer. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestors.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales. FALSE. They are equally related.

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

FALSE. They are equally related.

A mutation in _____ results in a change in _____ that sometimes produces a(n) _____ with altered structure and function.

xenn [34]

Answer:

A mutation in DNA results in a change in RNA that sometimes produces a protein with altered structure and function.

Explanation:

DNA is the hereditary material which causes gene expression in our body by producing protein. The type of protein which is produced by DNA totally depends upon the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA. But, DNA molecule does not produce protein directly. Initially it produces RNA (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) by the process of transcription, the nucleotides in the RNA are complimentary to those in DNA. In short, the message regarding the structure and composition of the type protein to be produced by DNA is first decoded from DNA in the form of RNA. These RNA molecules then synthesize the protein as per the instructions from DNA by the process of translation.

But, in case a mutation occurs in the DNA which causes a change in it's nucleotide/nucleotides, the protein which will be produced will be different in the structure and function than the protein which was supposed to be synthesized. It happens because, a triplet of nucletiodes in the DNA and hence RNA specifies a particular type of amino acid and several amino acids are joined in a long chain to form polypeptide which ultimately forms protein. But, if any nucleotide in the triplet is changed due to mutation it may change the amino acid and if amino acid will change the protein will also get altered.

During the process of translation in a eukaryote messenger RNA is spliced in the nucleus. amino acids are synthesized by RNA pol

svetlana [45]

Answer:

mRNA interacts with ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

The correct option would be that mRNA interacts with ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

Translation involves the use of genetic codes in mRNA to synthesize amino acids that are eventually linked together by polypeptide bonds to form proteins.

During translation, the mRNA synthesized in the nucleus is transported into the cytoplasm where it gets attached to the ribosome and another RNA - the tRNA. The codons on the mRNA eventually match with the anticodon of the tRNA with the later releasing the amino acid that corresponds to each codon.

Hence, the correct answer out of all the options is that mRNA interacts with ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
