Answer: If one is constructing a phylogeny of reptiles using DNA sequence data of birds, mammals, amphibians or fish, the suitable outgroup to be used are mammals due to the time of divergence from other group of organisms.
Explanation: Phylogeny is used to determine evolutionary relationship between items or organisms. A phylogenetic tree is a graphical illustration of phylogenetic relationship. In phylogeny, an outgroup represent an organism that is more distantly related to other group of organisms.
In a phylogenetic tree, outgroup stands alone. It shows that the time of divergence of that particular organism is far from other group of organisms. Outgroup is used to root a tree and sometimes represent a group that is more ancestral on a tree.
It should be noted that differences in the DNA sequences of the organisms under consideration will determine which organism will serve as the outgroup.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
- Yes, because people's eyes move during sleep, and this stimulates the rods and cones.
- No, because rods and cones only convert light energy into electrical signals.
- No, because rods and cones never produce electrical signals.
- Yes, because the rods and cones are reproducing images that are then sent to the brain.
Answer:
No, because rods and cones only convert light energy into electrical signals.
Explanation:
The rod and cone cells are the photoreceptor cells present on the retina of the eye which receives the physical stimulus in the form of light and then converts the light energy into the electrical energy which is sent to the brain.
When we dream, our remains closed and no light is able to enter the eye as a result of which the rods and cones do not send the signals to the brain.
Thus, the selected options are correct.
Mrs. Lopez has the most difficulty initiating digestion of proteins after her stomach is removed. The correct option is C.
Explanation:
When the stomach is removed due to complications such as in cancers the food eaten directly goes to intestine. Without stomach Mrs Lopez will have difficulty in starting the digestion of protein.
The digestion of protein takes place and starts in the stomach and duodenum of intestine. There are enzymes as pepsin, trypsin and chyomtrypsin secreted by stomach and pancreas. Pepsin breaks the peptide bonds of protein.
The HCl and the enzymes in stomach initiates the process of digestion of protein. The amino acids formed are ardent in various metabolic processes and repair.
lipids and carbohydrate digestion starts from the mouth only as salivary amylase and lipase initiates the process.
The 'cheek' is the common name for the insect GENA.
The gena is located in the head area of insects. The gena forms the sclerotized area on each side of the head, below the compound eyes, which extends to the gular structure. The gena varies among species of insects.
<span>The means is unknown. Filoviruses are known for causing hemorrhagic fever in humans. However, once a human is infected, passing the virus from person-to-person is the means by which others become infected. Most especially is the transmission through infected bodily fluids or objects that have been unsterilized and come into contact with those fluids.</span>
