Introduction: The living organisms are categorized on the basis of their characteristics, behavior, and several other factors. The criteria of categorization help in the determination of the organisms that have a similar lifestyle and survival strategies.
Answer to Problem 1TY
Correct answer: The study of biological diversity on the basis of evolutionary relationships is known as “systematics”. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
The concept of systematics is based on the categorization of the organisms according to their characteristics. Scientists place the discovered organisms into a phylogenetic tree. This is done to compare the traits of the newly discovered organisms with the previously discovered organisms possessing the common characteristics.
Option c. is given as “systematics”.
The “systematics” is the study of biological diversity on the basis of an evolutionary relationship. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
Reason for incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as, “paleontology”.
Paleontology is the study of fossils, and it does not explain biological diversity of the existing organism. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option b. is given as, “evolution”.
The process of acquiring changes by an organism over a period of time by developing variations according to their environment is called evolution. The concept of evolution cannot provide the criteria of differentiation among organisms on the basis of characteristics. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as, “phylogeny”.
The study of organisms based on their evolutionary relationship is called phylogeny. It tells about the evolutionary history but cannot help in comparing the modern and extinct organisms. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Option e. is given as, “both a and b”.
The option c. shows the correct explanation of the study of systematics. Hence, option e. is incorrect.
Hence, the options a., b., d., and e. are incorrect.
The study of biological diversity on the basis of the evolutionary relationship is called “systematics”.

Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forward

What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forward
