How does cladistics help us understand phylogeny?

Biology

dangina [55]2 years ago

Answer: C.) Cladistics is based purely on the shared characters between organisms and their ranking in evolutionary history.

 

Explanation:

Phylogeny is the evolutionary science which derives a relationship among the ancient species with their descendants based upon common genetic, physiological and morphological characteristics. Cladistics represent the study of a group of organisms which exhibit a common ancestor. A clade includes organisms having a common ancestors and exhibit similar traits in them. A clade is sufficient to include the organisms in a phylogenic tree based upon their evolutionary history.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

Cladistics is the approach used to classify the organism based on their shared characters on the basis of which the closely related organisms are grouped together.

The evolutionary biologist studies the physiological, genealogical, molecular and morphological characters on the basis of which the phylogenetic trees are constructed. In phylogenetic trees, the organisms are arranged according to their evolutionary history.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.

As noted from the explanation given above...in the process of development in males, the sperm cells always undergo many mitotic cellular division throughout their life increasimg the males' chances of undergoing spontaneous mutations as compared to the females during development where it gets to a certain point in their lives where they stop producing egg cells after the once division.

Thus, the continuous divisions undergone by the sperm cells acquire more spontaneous mutations on the cell that produces this lycantrophy trait.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Malignant melanoma cells would have active telomerases that constantly replenish and lengthen telomeres.

Explanation:

Telomerase can be described as enzymes which add the repetitive sequences called telomeres at the end of a chromosome. Telomeres can be described as repetitive sequences at the end of the chromosome which are involved in protecting the chromosome from any damage.

In a normal skin cell, the telomeres will shorten with time. But in a malignant skin cell, the telomerase will add the repetitive sequence again and again. The telomers will not be able to shorten.

The brain stem consists of the ________. The brain stem consists of the ________. cerebrum, pons, midbrain, and medulla midbrain
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

midbrain, medulla, and pons

Explanation:

The brainstem (also known as truncus encephali) is localized in the posterior part of the brain, in the base between cerebral hemispheres and the cervical cord. <em>It's divided into three parts, the midbrain or mesencephalon, the pons or mesencephalon, and the medulla oblongata also known as long medulla or myelencephalon.</em> <em>In the image I added you can see the brainstem structure.</em>

Some of the brainstem functions include the regulation of respiratory and cardiac function, thermoregulation, and other functions related to vision, sleep, etc.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

What is the second great discovery of genetics?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Genes on chromosomes

Explanation:

It has been conclusively established that chromosomes contain the hereditary material or factors that are transmitted from parent to offspring. These factors are called genes. A gene is a short portion of a DNA molecule and is chemical in nature. A gene codes for a specific protein by specifying the order in which the amino acids are linked together.
