Protista C. Archaebacteria D. Eubacteriaarrow_forwardOn the tree of life, branches that lead to several groups of green algae branch off from the one that leads to land plants. Which of the following statements is correct? A. Green algae are very closely related to the fungi. B. Green algae and land plants are not related. C. Land plants appeared first in the fossil record. D. Green algae are the ancestors of land plant mycorrhizae E. Land plants and algae have a common ancestor.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is the MOST compelling argument that fungi are more closely related to animals than plants? A. Plants have chloroplasts whereas fungi and animals cells do not. B. Plants fix carbon dioxide from the air; fungi and animals use pre-existing organic molecules. C. The DNA sequences of ribosomal RNA of fungi share more homology with ribosomal RNA from animals than plants. D. Both animal and fungal cells are eukaryotic.arrow_forwardSelect the statement that does NOT support the origin of excavates that lack plastids, have highly reduced mitochondria and are parasites: A. These parasites typically live in low-oxygen conditions and therefore loss of genes for plastids and mitochondria did not result in lower fitness B. The original, eukaryotic ancestors of these parasites did not engulf prokaryotes C. These parasites typically live in low-oxygen conditions, and many of their mitochondrial genes move to the nucleusarrow_forwardExplain how archae are more closely related to Eukarya than to bacteria even though Archae are related. Explain fully a. both are bacteria b. both have cells c. both have nucelus d. both are prokaryotesarrow_forward

It has resulted in genes being moved from the mitochondrion to the nucleus. What is a reasonable explanation for why some genes still remain in the mitochondria? A. The products of those genes are rapidly damaged and need to be quickly replaced. B. The products of those genes are not required for organelle function. C. The ability for lateral gene transfer ended about a billion years ago and some genes simply got “stuck” within mitochondria. D.
