The proteins encoded by genes within the same gene family have modularity if structure because : ( D ) gene families usually have similar DNA sequences and therefore similar protein structure.

A gene family is a set of similar genes that is formed by the duplication of single original gene, which has a similar biochemical function. natural selection affects the increase or decrease of a gene family.

Gene families have similar DNA sequence because the genes found in a gene family is from an ancestral gene, also their protein structure is similar

Hence we can conclude that gene families usually have similar DNA sequences and therefore similar protein structure.

DNA is to deoxyribose as DNA?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Deoxyribose, found in DNA, is a modified sugar, lacking one oxygen atom (hence the name "deoxy"). This difference of one oxygen atom is important for the enzymes that recognize DNA and RNA, because it allows these two molecules to be easily distinguished inside organisms.

Explain how the work of the following folks contributed to the development of the Theory of Natural Selection
EleoNora [17]

Thomas Malthus was economist who proposed that human populations grow faster than the resources they depend on which becomes limiting factor for them, causing the increase of populations but also increase of famine and diseases. As a consequence, the weakest members die. Darwin linked this with the “survival of the fittest" (naturals elections favors the best suited for reproduction and survival).

Georges Cuvier was anti-evolutionist and religious man, but he did have influence on Darwin theory of evolution (natural selection). He was against linear system of classification so, his believes that there is more than one lineage for species helped Darwin shaped his theory.

Charles Lyell geologists who believed that geologic processes that were at the beginning of time were the same ones that were happening at the current time (processes work the same way through time). He explained that slow changes built up over time, so Darwin linked that with the way that life on Earth changes. (small adaptations that accumulated over long periods of time change a species).
