Why does a diagram look more like a bush than a straight line

Answer: The reason why an evolutionary diagram looks more like a bush than a straight line is the development of new species.

To be more clear - initially we can have one species, and that species will over time start to live in multiple different environments. As the species starts to adapt to the new environment, its appearance and genetics are gradually changing in order for it to have more advantageous traits to survive in the environment. As the time passes, the changes that will emerge in some members will create a new species, and that process will constantly go on, until extinction that is. So we have one species that is an ancestor of multiple new species, thus the family tree, or rather evolutionary diagram, starts to branch out, and as the time passes, it will branch out more and more and take a bush-like looks.

C) What does this cladogram tell you about the evolutionary relationship of the traits of jaws

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

In biology, a cladogram can be described as a diagram which shows evolutionary relationships among different organisms. A cladogram shows which organisms share evolutionary history and which organisms are more closely related to one another.

<em>The cladogram in the above picture shows that the limbs originated after the jaws. </em>

The cladogram shows that amoeba was a common ancestor to sponges, earthworms, salmon, lizards, kangroo and cats.

An actin-binding protein called cofilin binds preferentially to ADP-containing actin filaments rather than ATP-containing actin

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Cofilin binds to older actin filaments

Explanation:

Microfilaments (also called actin filaments) are a class of protein filament common to all eukaryotic cells, which consist of two strands of subunits of the protein actin. Microfilaments form part of the cell's cytoskeleton and interact with the protein myosin in order to allow the movement of the cell. Within the cell, actin may show two different forms: monomeric G-actin and polymeric F-actin filaments. Microfilaments provide shape to the cell because these filaments can depolymerize (disassemble) and polymerize (assembly) quickly, thereby allowing the cell to change its shape. During the polymerization process, the ATP that is bound to G-actin is hydrolyzed to ADP, which is bound to F-actin. ATP-actin subunits are present at the barbed ends of the filaments, and cleavage of the ATP molecules produces highly stable filaments bound to ADP. In consequence, it is expected that cofilin binds preferentially to highly stable (older) filaments ADP-actin filaments instead of ATP-actin filaments.
