Evolutionary theory predicts that species are related, not independent. Four of the following examples provide support for this prediction, but one isirrelevant. Which of examples listed below does not support the claim that species are related?O A. Many dinosaurs and other organisms went extinct following a huge asteroid impact at the end of the Cretaceous.O B. All prokaryotes and eukaryotes use DNA to carry their genetic information.OC. Before synthetic insulin was available, diabetics used injections of purified pig insulin to manage their disease.O D. Ground squirrel species found on the North and South sides of the Grand Canyon are very similar to each other.O E. The endostyle of lancelets (invertebrate chordates) and the thyroid gland of vertebrates develop similarly, and both produce iodinated proteins.«< Question 5 of 120A Moving to another question will save this response.11:51 AM12/16/202EndF10pgUP F11PgDnF12HomePrtScnF8DIIF5F7F6F3F4F2&#32$789.4.YURKト

The end of the Cretaceous period which was about 65 million years ago, was the most prominent of all mass extinctions where an asteroid hit the Earth in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico forming a huge crater which is called the Chicxulub impact crater. As we all remember, the dinosaurs were extinct in this great extinction along with some marine reptiles such as the ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs as well as the flying pterosaurs and the ammonites also became extinct. However several classes of flowering plants, gastropods, amphibians, lizard and snakes, crocodiles, birds and mammals have sailed through this extinction with little or no evident extinguishment. The genetic information in prokaryotes is stored on a single circular piece of DNA that is attached to the cell membrane and is in direct contact with the cytoplasm of the cell while the genetic information in eukaryotes is stored in chromosomes packed into a linear DNA molecule. Hence, both have this feature in common. In 1978 the first synthetic human insulin was genetically engineered using E. coli bacteria to produce the insulin that was first commercially sold out under the brand name Humulin. Cattle and pig insulin has long been used to cure diabetes and save millions of lives, but it has not been perfect because it has triggered allergic reactions in a significant number of patients. The Grand Canyon of Arizona was formed some 10,000 years ago creating a geographical barrier between the squirrels which lived in that region. The north and south sides of the canyon were then inhabited by two different squirrel species which could no longer interbreed among themselves. This speciation type is called allopatric speciation. However, these squirrels also have a similar shape and size along with similar skeletal system. The skulls are short, large and flattened, with slightly laterally compressed rostrums." The endostyle is an anatomical trait noticed in all chordates. The endostyle of lancelets metamorphoses into the thyroid gland of adults which is regarded homologous to the thyroid gland in vertebrates because of its iodine-concentrating activity.In the given options - OPTION 1, Many dinosaurs and other organism went extinct following a huge asteroid impact the end of the Cretaceous - doesn't support the claim that species are related because this extinction was due to hitting of an asteroid on the Earth which has nothing to do with the species being related to each other. However, Option 2, 3, 4 and 5 - do claim or support the species relatedness along the evolutionary line.
