Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 1CT
Researchers recently compared mitochondrial DNA from a fossil finger found in Siberia to mitochondrial DNA (mitoDNA) from modern humans. The sequence of the finger DNA differed from modern human DNA at an average of 385 sites. Neanderthal mitoDNA differs from modern human mitoDNA at an average of 202 sites, and chimpanzee mitoDNA differs from human mitoDNA at an average of 1, 462 sites. Using this information, draw a tree that shows the relationship between chimpanzees, humans, Neanderthals, and the owner of this finger.

Explain whether predators and scavengers are necessary or beneficial for an ecosystem.arrow_forwardmagine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between Uniporters, Symporters and Antiporters?
