How does DNA and evolution play a role in modern taxonomy

Biology
1 answer:
just olya [345]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

An organism's DNA affects how it looks, how it behaves, and its physiology. So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life. Mutations are essential to evolution; they are the raw material of genetic variation. Without mutation, evolution could not occur.

The theory of organic evolution, developed by Charles Darwin in the mid-1800s, revolutionized taxonomy. Thus, modern taxonomists who study plants or animals do not merely name and catalog species, they also try to construct evolutionary trees showing the relationships of different species

zalisa [80]

Answer:

The options are

A. secondary structure ... hydrogen bonds

B. secondary structure ... peptide bonds

C. tertiary structure ... hydrogen bonds

D. primary structure ... covalent bonds

E. tertiary structure ... covalent bonds

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS A.

A. secondary structure ... hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

The secondary structure of a polypeptide shows the localized regions of its organised structure being upheld by hydrogen bonds among the major groups

-NH and C = O

At the same time, it inhibits the hydrogen bonds of the side chains from influencing the reaction process.

The polypeptide secondary structure shows the dexterity to curl or fold as sustained by the polypeptide chains.

Si se aparean especies diferentes como por ejemplo el cruce entre caballos y burros; podemos afirmar que si llegan a tener desce
White raven [17]

Answer:

El híbrido va a ser esteril.

Explanation:

En la cruza entre dos especies distintas, cuando ocurre, existen distintos mecanismos de aislamiento reproductivo, que son barreras que inhiben o interrumpen el flujo génico entre especies distintas. Es decir que no habrá exito reproductivo de estas cruzas. Se trata de caracteres biológicos propios de cada especie que previenen la reproducción con otras especies.

Estos mecanismos de aislamiento reproductivo pueden ser precigóticos o postcigóticos.  

  1.Pre-copulatorios o pre-cigóticos:

  • Ecológico o por aislamiento de hábitat;
  • Estacional o temporal;
  • Sexual o etológico;
  • Mecánico;
  • Por incompatibilidad de gametas.  

  2. Post-copulatorios o cigóticos:

  • Inviabilidad del híbrido;
  • Esterilidad del híbrido;
  • Híbrido con viabilidad o fertilidad disminuido;
  • Interacciones citoplasmáticas.

La mula es producto de la cruza entre dos especies distintas: una yegua (Equus ferus caballus) y un burro (Equus africanus asinus). Es un ejemplo de la accion de mecanismo poscigótico, en el cual se forma un híbrido viable esteril. Este ejemplar puede nacer, crecer y sobrevivir, pero que no puede producir gametas funcionales, por lo cual no puede reproducirse.
