- What two pieces of evidence support the claim that all life on Earth descended from a common ancestor?arrow_forwardIf a species is immutable (mutations do not occur) is evolution possible? Explainarrow_forwardCat DNA is much more similar to dog DNA than to tortoise DNA. Why? (a) Cats and dogs are both carnivores and take in similar nutrients. (b) Cats and dogs have lived together with humans for a long period of time, so they have grown more similar. (c) Cats and dogs have more offspring during their lifetime than tortoises have, so their DNA changes less rapidly. (d) Cats and dogs have a common ancestor that is more recent than the common ancestor of cats and tortoises.arrow_forward

Discuss whether or not you view evolution as a random process.arrow_forwardWhich of the proteins is changing at the slowest rate and is most conserved?

- Explain why the following statement is incorrect. “Evolution gives species what they need in order to survive”arrow_forwardSelect the true statements from the following regarding the evolutionary theories that are thought to have combined to give rise to life on earth. Reproduction is required for both chemical and biological evolution. Both chemical and biological evolution are defined by change over time. Purpose of Miller-Urey experiment was to answer the question: can chemistry give rise to complex molecules required for life? The Miller-Urey experiment showed that chemistry can give rise to the molecules required for evolution of life.arrow_forwardThe virus causing the 2009 Flu Pandemic contained sequences from bird, pig, and humans. Why? The infected individuals happened to be infected with all three virus types. The human was likely infected with various bacterial strains that contained all three RNA viruses. The virus was descended from a common ancestor of bird, pig, and human flu viruses. Related viruses can undergo genetic recombination if the RNA genomes mix and match during viral assembly.arrow_forward
- What significance does the relative size of exons and introns have for the evolution of genes and of gene function?arrow_forwardSome mutations, or changes in the sequence of DNA, do not have any effect on the characteristics of the organism.Why is this?arrow_forwardA graduate student, Dolt Colt, at The Best Western University synthesized a drug called Drug X and noted that it lowered blood cholesterol levels in mice. He tried to see if it works in humans. Is it: Replicability Reproducibility Generalizability Translatability Transparency Rigorarrow_forward
