Answer:  Xiao can use these structures to create a similarity matrix that enables to differentiate between synapomorphies and homoplasies .

Explanation: A synapomorphy is a trait that has been inherited from the same ancestor, this trait enables to establish a relation of homology between two or more species; while a homoplasy is an analog structure that doesn't have homology.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The correct option is B.<u> It was mostly incorporated into proteins that regulate and manage metabolic reactions.</u>

Explanation:

The results of the experiment showed that most of the radiolabeled amino acids were present in the mitochondria.

Amino acids can be described as organic compounds which build up the proteins. There are 20 different kinds of amino acids which make up different kinds of proteins, each specified to perform specific functions.

The results from the experiment prove that the radiolabeled amino acid is being used to make proteins that are necessary for metabolic reactions.

The backbone of DNA and RNA is composed of_________ . DNA is double stranded due to interactions between adenine, cytosine, guan
o-na [289]

A sugar-phosphate backbone (alternating grey-dark grey) joins together nucleotides in a DNA sequence. The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.The two strands run in opposite directions, one going in a 3' to 5' direction and the other going in a 5' to 3' direction. The nitrogenous bases are positioned inside the helix structure like "rungs on a ladder," due to the hydrophobic effect, and stabilized by hydrogen bonding. Uracil is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of RNA that are represented by the letters A, G, C and U. The others are adenine, cytosine, and guanine. In RNA, uracil binds to adenine via two hydrogen bonds. In DNA, the uracil nucleobase is replaced by thymine. Uracil is a demethylated form of thymine.

Which region of Earth did John Tuzo Wilson believe was broken into plates? Lithosphere outer core lower mantle asthenosphere
notsponge [240]

The correct answer is option A - Lithosphere

Explanation:

John Tuzo Wilson was a Canadian geophysicist who is known for his contributions to the theory of plate tectonics.

Plate tectonics supports the idea that the rigid outer layer of the Earth or the lithosphere is broken into numerous plates. These plates move independently over the asthenosphere.
