Chapter 10, Problem 1TQ
Summary Introduction

The biological evolution is the alteration in the features of an organism’s population over inherited generations. These features are due to the gene expressions that are distributed from parent to progeny throughout the reproduction. The different features are inclined to occur within any population as a consequence of genetic recombination, mutation and other sources of genetic variation.

Answer to Problem 1TQ

The two different organisms are closely associated evolutionarily, then they will share a recent common ancestor. Therefore, option (b) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Justify the reasons for the correct statement:

In evolutionary biology, the common descent explains how a group of organism shares a common ancestor. The various resemblances between the organisms are mainly due to the information of the organism that are evolved through a common descent from a common ancestor. The two dissimilar organisms which share a more recent common ancestor are most closely associated.

Option (b) is given as, “share a recent common ancestor”.

Hence, the option (b) is correct.

Justify the reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as, “be similar in size”. 

The organism that is closely related evolutionary would not be similar in size. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as, “have very different DNA sequence in their genes”.   

If the organisms are closely related to evolutionary, then it does not contain different sequence of DNA in their genes but is shares a common ancestor. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as, “be randomly located throughout the world”.   

The two various organisms which are associated evolutionary does not randomly situated all over the world, but it shares a common ancestor. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (c), and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

Therefore, if the two dissimilar organisms which shares a common ancestor because it is closely related to the evolution.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for?  3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
