indicate the hypothetical evolutionary relationship between two species of their DNA sequences share a 98 percent similarity

1 answer:

6 0

This means that we are virtually certain to share a common ancestor at some point in our evolutionary history. Although this 2 percent difference can manifest itself as huge phenotypical differences between species (such as between humans and chimpanzees), it indicates that our species diverged relatively recently on the evolutionary timeline.

Which is not something that occurs in translation? A codon and an anticodon pair. A peptide bond is created. A molecule of mRNA

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

A molecule of mRNA is formed.

Explanation:

Translation is the second process that occurs in gene expression. It is the process by which the information encoded in the mRNA transcript is used to synthesize a protein.

The mRNA nucleotide sequence is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies an amino acid. Translation, which occurs in the ribosomes (cytoplasm), reads the codon with an anticodon using the complementary base pairing rule i.e. A-U, G-C. This means that a CODON-ANTICODON pairs.

The anticodon carries a corresponding amino acid to the polypeptide sequence. A peptide bond is formed when two amino acids joins together in a condensation reaction.

Note: A molecule of mRNA is formed during transcription

After the completion of meiosis in humans, a diploid germ cell has produced cells with half the original chromosome number, gene

Andreas93 [3]

Answer: 23

Explanation:

After the completion of meiosis in humans, a diploid germ cell has produced cells with half the original chromosome number, generating 23 haploid nuclei.

Meiosis is cell division that reduces chromosome number by half. Hence, a diploid germ cell with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) is halved to 23 nuclei at the end of meiosis, the 23 nuclei will be carried by the sex gamete
