Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has a unique pattern of inheritance. It is passed down directly from mother to child, unlike nuclear DNA, which is passed down from both parents. It also accumulates changes much more slowly than other types of DNA. Suggest a way in which mtDNA analysis could be useful to scientists.

The construction of phylogenetic trees is a mapping out the proposed divisions and common ancestors of all living species. traditionally, these trees have been built using morphological data, such as appearance and embryology. recently, it has been possible to construct these trees using molecular data. phylogenetic trees based on different types of information agree with each: that there is strong evidence of a real underlying common descent. this phylogenic tree is composed based on molecular data (rrna). what statements can we infer are true about the organisms throughout the tree? because the tree is rooted, all branches share a common ancestor. all organisms have some sort of cellular structure/organization. all eukaryotes evolved from bacteria. since the organisms contain rna, they share the same dna. if the organisms contain rna, the share the same four nitrogen bases.

Interpret the model. a three-part model with black right-arrows between the parts. left part: a large green apple-shaped component with a w-shaped indentation centered on top. a small blue apple-slice shape sits above the left indentation and an arrow points from the shape to the indentation. a small purple apple-slice shape and arrow sit above the right indentation and an arrow points from the shape to the indentation. middle part: a large green apple-shaped component with a square indentation centered on top. sitting in the left side of the indentation is a blue apple-slice shape with a flat bottom, fused to a purple apple-slice shape with a flat bottom on the right side of the indentation. right part: a large green apple-shaped component with a w-shaped indentation centered on top. an up-arrow is centered above the indentation pointing to a fused blue and purple apple-slice-shaped flat-bottom component sitting above the indentation. assigne "true" or "false" to the end of each statement. the model shows a shape change occurring in the enzyme after the substrate is bound in the active site. t/fthere are two products in this model. t? f there are three substrates in this model. t/f the model shows two different enzymes. t/f

Parasitism could be considered a form of which of these types of relationships? -mutualism -commensalism -predator-prey -mimicry
