Answer:

Cytochrome C; it provides evidences that there is similarities in the respiratory pathways for producing ATPs by  all living organisms especially mammals.

Explanation:

Cytochrome c is located in the intermembranes of mitochondria, and it functions in the transfer of  of one electron in electron transport chain,(ETC) needed for  generation of proton motive force;  for generation of energy in the synthesis of ATPs by ATPase synthase  during chemiosmosis. Its allows oxdation-reduction by the switching of its iron ii to iron iii. during electron transports.However its iron atoms does not undergo oxidation with  oxygen. This feature makes it stable and  an ideal carrier of electrons.

Its amino acid sequences is very similar in all living organisms especially  between mammals(e.g man and chimpanzees)with little variation in few amino acid residues due to mutation.This similarity in its amino acids sequences in all  living  organism together with small molecular size makes it ideal  molecular evidence  for studying comparative molecular evidence of  evolution.

This is because it can be used  to trace  the pathways of respiration to synthesize energy, and therefore to conclude that  most  organisms share common ancestry, since a very similar protein sequence in  a structure(Cytochrome c) participated in unique ETC mechanisms  in all, needed for energy synthesis .

Give three reasons why you might have a situation in which bacterial colonies were found on the first section of a streak plate,
Agata [3.3K]

Hi. You have not shown the sections this question refers to, nor have you provided more information about those sections. This makes it difficult for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

Generally speaking, we can consider that there was no growth of bacterial colonies in sections 2 and 3, because, for some reason, the bacteria was not inoculated in sections 2 and 3. What could also have happened, is that the bacteria in the sections 2 and 3 were eliminated, but the bacteria from section 1 managed to survive and form colonies.

Another possibility is that after inoculating the bacteria in section 1, you didn't handle the bacteria correctly in the other sections, leaving that bacteria to dry out and die.

Finally, the culture media in sections 2 and 3 could be inappropriate for bacteria to develop and form colonies.

What is one similarity between natural selection and artificial selection?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

B- environmental factors do most of the “selecting.”

Explanation:

Natural selection is the environment that the organism lives in, and the process which that organism changes by.

Artificial selection is when humans intervene and create an organism that isn't suited for their specific environment, but rather for the humans own liking.

Think of breeding dogs to be smaller, or more fluffy and adorable. These are not traits to help them survive in where they original environment was.
