Answer:
False
Explanation:
Phylogenetic analysis is a means of establishing evolutionary relationships.
Synapomorphy is a shared ("syn") character that is different from the form found in an ancestor that distinguishes a clade (monophyletic group)from other organisms
The absence of a trait can be used as a synapomorphy in phylogenetic analysis. For example, the loss of a trait, such as the loss of legs in snakes, can be a valuable synapomorphy for a clade.
Answer:
Homologous structures can be described structures which originate in different organisms from a common ancestor and may or may not have the same functions.
Zeuglodons can be described as ancient whales and Orca is a common whale today known as the killer whale.
<u><em>Scientific studies show that Zeuglodans and Orca have many structures in common such as:</em></u>
- <u><em>Having teeth with two roots</em></u>
- <u><em>The presence of nostrils</em></u>
- <u><em>Pelvis and internal femur bones</em></u>
Answer:
increase
Explanation:
The mevalonate pathway is known to generate isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, which are used to synthesize diverse compounds including cholesterol and steroid hormones. The levels of mevalonate in human plasma may be used as a measure of cholesterol synthesis. When the cholesterol level is low, it stimulates its endogenous production by the mevalonate pathway. Since it is well known that the vegetarian diet reduces cholesterol, this diet also increases mevalonate levels.
