Answer:
Due to different grouping style
Explanation:
There are two modes of classifying an organism due to which two different cladogram are produced-
A) When the organisms are grouped together on the basis of similarities shared by them – Such species are named based on the name of older species and the newly discovered species sharing similar traits are kept under older species thereby dropping its own name.
B) In the second method, the minute differences are observed in species to group them into several branches arising from one parent organism.
Answer:
a) snRNA
Explanation:
The association of small nuclear RNA (snRNA) and some specific proteins forms small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes. Some complexes are spliceosomes, molecular machines -made up of a snRNA and about 80 proteins- that remove introns from pre-mRNAs via successive phosphoryl transfer reactions.
Salt marshes are primarily influenced by the tidal flow.
The most important idea is that the genetic material of any organism must be able to accurately replicate itself at least every generation (or for multicellular organisms at each cell division).
Base pairing (A-T or U and C-G)allows DNA and RNA (eg in polio virus, see Wikipedia page on RNA dependent RNA polymerase) to create a copy of themselves, when the appropriate enzymes are present. Proteins have no way of making a copy of themselves.
Stability is probably the main reason DNA is the most common genetic material. DNA has no enzymatic activity and was probably selected for to maintain the integrity of the genetic material (rather than having to perform a function for the cell/virus, during which it may be destroyed). The double helix structure also protects its integrity, and proofreading enzymes have also evolved which correct most of the mistakes made at DNA replication. RNA viruses don't have this mechanism- which could be said to be an advantage (as they can rapidly change and therefore avoid their hosts' immune systems), however in non-parasitic organisms most mutations in a gene would lead to a loss of an essential function and the extinction of that genome.
I don't think either of these reasons are relevant, but I think the main reasons retroviruses convert their RNA to DNA are so they can use the host cell's replication machinery (this was they do not need to encode as many genes), and secondly they need avoid the antiviral mechanisms of the cell, which would destroy any double stranded RNA molecules found (even if the virus was single stranded, dsRNA would have to be produced at replication).
