How does DNA and evolution play a role in modern taxonomy

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

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

During cellular respiration the largest amount of ATP is generated in
Degger [83]
The electron transport chain of the cellular respiration process produces maximum ATP.

There are three parts of cellular respiration:

Glycolysis, which produces 2 ATP.
Krebs cycle, which does not produce any ATP. It produces only the raw materials for ATP production.
Oxidative phosphorylation, which involves the electron transport chain that produces maximum ATP. It takes one NADH molecule via Channel 1 to produce 2.5 ATP and one FADH2 molecule via channel 2 to produce 1.5 ATP, for a total of 34 ATP.

Can someone answer this pls??
Lunna [17]

Answer:

75% brown, 25% white

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for color in chickens. The allele for brown color (B) is dominant over the allele for white color (b).

According to this question, a brown rooter with genotype 'BB' was crossed with a white hen (bb). The offsprings in the F1 generation will all possess the 'Bb' genotype and be brown colored. However, if these F1 offsprings are self-mated i.e Bb × Bb, the proportion of F2 offsprings will be 1BB, 2Bb, 1bb.

Since BB, Bb and Bb offsprings are Brown in color and bb is white in color, this means that the expected phenotypic appearance of the F2 offsprings will be:

¾ or 75% brown and ¼ or 25% white
