Why was the genetic information from the distantly related cormorant unusable for this research? why was it important for genetic comparison to find a closely related cormorant species?

species that are closely related will have more similarities in their genetic code than species that are distantly related. the close relationship can evolutionary scientists pick out the specific changes that occurred in the genetic code to give these birds flightless wings.

1. in what ways have non-native species been beneficial? 2. what are some of the hypotheses for the collapse of honeybee colonies? 3. distinguish between regional and functional extinction. 4. why is it difficult to measure background extinction rates? 5. what three factors are most important in causing extinction rates to climb?

All fats are part of a larger group known as lipids. lipids come in a variety of forms in food, including triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols. choose the statement below that correctly describes the types of lipids found in foods. all fats are part of a larger group known as lipids. lipids come in a variety of forms in food, including triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols. choose the statement below that correctly describes the types of lipids found in foods. triglycerides contain two fatty acids attached to a glycerol backbone. the body does not manufacture phospholipids, so they must be included in the diet. about 95% of the fat you eat is in the form of sterols. sterols like cholesterol have a ring structure.
