BIO 106 CHAPTER 15 READING QUIZ 100%CORRECT&VERIFIED LATEST 2024(ALL ANSWERS) A comparison of prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA would show that... - ANS-eukaryotes have a greater proportion of non-coding DNA than prokaryotes. FEEDBACK: Non-coding DNA, which is not used to build proteins, makes up a very large percentage of the eukaryotic genome, whereas prokaryotes contain relatively little non-coding DNA. Eukaryotes contain more DNA in general than prokaryotes. A type of anaerobic metabolism that involves the breakdown of sugars - ANS-Fermentation. According to the tree, which of the following plant groups has vascular tissues? - ANS-Ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms FEEDBACK: Vascular tissue is a trait ancestral to ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms, so it is found in all of these groups. Vascular tissue evolved after bryophytes evolved. According to this evolutionary tree, when did the human lineage branch away from the lineage leading to gorillas? - ANS-7-8 mya FEEDBACK: The branch leading to humans branched away from the gorillas roughly 7-8 million years ago. According to this figure... (***PICTURE OF COLORFUL TREE-LOOKING THING***) - ANS-Eukarya shares a more recent common ancestor with Archaea than it does with Bacteria. FEEDBACK: The tree of life shows that Eukarya shares a common ancestor with Archaea more recently than with Bacteria, because the node connecting Eukarya and Bacteria is further towards the base of the tree than the node connecting Eukarya and Archaea. The tree does not contain information about the complexity of the organisms; it only demonstrates their evolutionary relationships. Acidithiobacillus is a prokaryote that gets its energy from chemicals, such as sulfur, and gets its carbon from carbon dioxide. It is a... - ANS-chemoautotroph. FEEDBACK: Chemoautotrophs get their energy from chemicals, and use carbon from carbon dioxide to make their own food. An organism that gets its energy from light would be "photo-", and an organism that gets its carbon from organic matter would be a heterotroph. All animals... - AN
