A scientist has discovered a new organism and wishes to classify it based on morphology and genetics. While he is waiting on the

genomic data, he analyzes the morphological data. The new organism has homologous structures to birds and analogous structures to bats. However, he observes one trait that is shared with bats but not birds. What should he do?

Answer:

This species is phylogenetically related to birds (since it shares homology to birds) and is not evolutionary related to bats

Explanation:

The presence morphological analogies to bats but not present in birds are the product of an evolutionary process, these structures are defined as evolutionary novelties

Answer:

tentatively group it with birds and speculate that the trait shared only with bats is a derived rather than an ancestral trait with bats.

Explanation:

The scientist after his observation should tentatively classify this organism with birds and the the second end of calculating the other morphological traits which makes it possess the likely bat traits to be ancestral.

According to scientists, most widely used modern systematic practice

depends upon the assumption that a change from character in one species

to character occurs once and once only in the evolutionary process and that this process is irreversible so that it never returns.

In this scheme, there are no independently derived parallel evolutionary changes,

nor convergences from a variety of states to a single one. Therefore, when two organisms share a

character state different from other species, it is because they are more closely related to each other through a recent common ancestor than they are to other species.

Also using the parsimony principle, a scheme of common ancestry for all the species is derived that uses all the characters that have been observed.

Answer:

<em><u>What does she need from the food she ate and the air she breathes so that she can go on her run? </u></em>

A. Rosa needs carbohydrates rich food (bread) to carry out her jogging activity. Protein-rich food before exercise is not recommended unless she is on a weight loss program (diet plan).

B. Rosa needs oxygen to perform aerobic respiration, which is required for maximum release of energy (36 molecules per reaction run). Anaerobic reactions yield less energy (2 molecules of ATP per reaction run) and are not recommended.

<em><u>How do Rosa's body systems work together to get the molecules she needs into her cells?</u></em>

Rosa's body cells need carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen to perform aerobic respiration for the release of maximum energy. The glucose and oxygen molecules are provided to the cells via diffusion into the bloodstream. During exercise/jogging, complex molecules of carbohydrates such as starch (present in bread) are broken down into simple molecules (glucose) which are diffused into the blood. Likewise, a high amount of oxygen is provided to the body's cells via diffusion in blood, which is carried out by the faster movement of lungs and heart. The combined action results in the supply of both types of molecules to enter the cell where mitochondria use these substrates to produce energy molecules (ATPs).

<em><u>How do hair cells use these molecules to release energy for her body to run?</u></em>

The substrates (glucose and oxygen) enters the bloodstream and then taken up to the cell. Then they are provided to the mitochondria for the release of energy in the form of ATP. This is why mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cells. Within the cell, energy is released in a three-step process, i.e. glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Here glucose reacts with oxygen. In the end, aerobic respiration per reaction run produces 36 molecules of ATP which are sufficient to meet intensive energy needs. During excrcise, the supply of oxygen and glucose is also faster due to faster lungs and heart actions.

PS: Anaerobic respiration cannot meet energy demands faster because the reaction produces only 2 ATP molecules per reaction run.

<h2>Mutation & genetic drift</h2>

Explanation:

  • A mutation is characterized as a lasting change to the DNA succession in a quality. This change moves the hereditary message conveyed by the quality and can modify the amino corrosive arrangement of the protein the quality encodes. This implies future cells created by the quality will just convey a specific characteristic.  
  • Genetic Drift is the change in the hereditary structure of a populace after some time because of possibility or irregular occasions. In instances of hereditary float, for example, catastrophic events or periods of irregular climate, the age that makes due to repeat won't really be the fittest, yet the most fortunate. Hereditary float doesn't allude to a particular change in hereditary cells, rather to arbitrary events that impact a population's genetic makeup.
  • Hence, the right answer of the fill up the blank is "mutation and genetic drift".
