Name the animal shown in the following diagram and indicate the chordate group to which it belongs. Identify the labeled structures and indicate the four chordate characters.

To name: The animals shown in the given diagram, indicate the chordate group to which it belongs, identify the labelled structure, and indicate the four characters of chordate.
Introduction: Deuterostomia is a sub taxon of Bilaterians. It includes chordates and echinoderms. A chordate is an animal belongs to the phylum Chordata. Chordates include urochordates, cephalochordates, and vertebrates.
Answer to Problem 1IQ
Pictorial representation: Fig.1 shows the labeled structure of lancelet and four characters of chordate.
Fig.1: Labeled structure of lancelet and four chordate characters
Explanation of Solution
The animal shown in the given (Fig.1) is lancelet and it belongs to the chordate group of Cephalochordata.
Lancelets are marine animal, which is tiny in nature. It retains complete four characteristics of chordate into the stage of adult. The adult lancelet, which is involved in suspension-feeding burrow backward to the soil and particles of food are filtered by a mucous net, which is produced across the pharyngeal slits. Using serial muscle contractions, the lancelet swims. The notochord is flex by these serial muscle contractions. From the mesoderm, these segments of muscle mature and it is called somites. It is found in all embryos of chordate.
Four chordate characters: In Fig.1, the symbol * indicates the derived characters of chordates. It includes notochord, dorsal, hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail.
Notochord: It is a flexible chord and it gives skeletal support beside a length of embryos of chordate and in certain chordate adult.
Dorsal, hollow nerve: It develops into the spinal cord and the brain.
Pharyngeal slits: The pharyngeal grooves or clefts frequently develop into pharyngeal slits. The role of the pharyngeal slit is involved in suspension feeding or portion of head or function as gills.
A muscular, post-anal tail: It contains muscles and skeletal elements.

- What is this?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology A-C components of the question are corresponding to attached image labeled 1. D component of the question is corresponding to attached image labeled 2. For a eukaryotic mRNA, the sequences is as follows where AUGrepresents the start codon, the yellow is the Kozak sequence and (XXX) just represents any codonfor an amino acid (no stop codons here). G-cap and polyA tail are not shown A. How long is the peptide produced?B. What is the function (a sentence) of the UAA highlighted in blue?C. If the sequence highlighted in blue were changed from UAA to UAG, how would that affecttranslation? D. (1) The sequence highlighted in yellow above is moved to a new position indicated below. Howwould that affect translation? (2) How long would be the protein produced from this new mRNA?

- Molecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB. If you were to do gene therapy to fix this problem, briefly explain what type of gene therapy youwould use to correct this. Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Please help.
