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 .

Answer:

There are many invasive animal sand plants which are harmful for native flora and fauna. Some of the invasive or alien species are as following:

<u>1. The Nile Perch:</u><em> </em>Nile Perch is a type of fish which is native to African lake and river systems but if it is introduced in other countries lake it can be dangerous to other fishes in that lake. It was earlier introduced to Lake Victoria but after sometime it was evaluated that native fishes got extinct and the Nile Perch become very huge in size.

<u>2. The cotton whitefly: </u> Cotton whitefly are native to India but now can be found on most of the continents and have very bad impact on the fauna or agricultural plants. They have capability of transmitting upto 100 different plant viruses. find them thriving

<u>3. The desert locust:</u> The desert locust is a species of locust which can fly and are one of the most disastrous migratory pests in the world. They feed over green green vegetation, including pasture, crops and fodder. They have very bad impact on native flora as they are migratory pests. They are found in Africa and migrated to nearby countries such as India and damages the native flora.

<u>4. European starlings:</u> European starlings are the bird species which fight with native species for food and shelter. They are found in Alaska and Mexico and proved invasive in U.S. as the number of native birds decreased with their introduction.

Is this a multiple choice question or...??

If not, I'd say, that its simple as scientists can easily decipher which variable caused the situations result. And thats because you may have one manipulated variable to be able to know the responding variable.
