Distantly related species that share similar characteristics?
Chimpanzees
Dolphins peguins and sharks are distantly-related species that share similar characteristics which help them live in water this is an example of?
It's called convergent evolution
What is the molecular formula of the principal molecular or ionic species present in glucose?
It is a molecular species with the formula C6H12O6
How is frog DNA different from human DNA?
All the DNA is chemically the same. It is the sequence pattern (the way A, T, G, C organized) would differ from one species to another. The DNA of bacteria from one species to other will differ tremendously if they are distantly related.
How can we determine how closely related two species are?
There are many methods to determine how closely related two species may be. You could begin by comparing embryo morphology, doing radioactive dating or a visual inspection of structural and genetic similarities.
How does molecular biology support the theory of evolution?
If you look at the gene sequences of a species, you can see a clear homology among the same species. Distantly related species wont have similarity at DNA level. Hence by knowing the molecular level information one can predict the evolution of a species.
Closely related species show more in nucleotide sequences than distantly related species?
similarity
Distantly related species that share similar characteristics?
Chimpanzees
Species that are not closely related and that do not share many anatomical similarities can still be placed together on the same phylogenetic tree by comparing their?
Molecular genetics.
Biologists use molecular clocks to try to measure?
Generally, a molecular clock is used to describe the rate of molecular change over time that tells you when two species, or taxa, have diverged.
Embryological development is in distantly related species such as apes and fish?
Often very similar at certain stages

Atis is sugar apple not cherimoya?
They are not the same species but they belong to the genus Annona. They both are distantly related.
How does the variation in protein reflect changes in a species DNA?
As new species evolve they build up differences in the DNA from related species, as a result of mutation and selection. The role of DNA is to encode the structure of proteins. The DNA code defines the sequence of amino acids in each protein. So if the sequence of bases in the DNA changes, the sequence of amino acids in the proteins can also change as a result. If we compare closely related species there should be fewer differences in their DNA and so fewer differences in their proteins than between distantly related species. By comparing amino acid sequences we can therefore estimate how closely or distantly related two species are to each other. (see related links)
What are mallee fowls descendant of?
They are descended from extinct species, but are megapodes, distantly related to pheasants, and most particularly closley related to cracids. They are in the family of galliformes.
What are some species related to a horsefly?
Well, the common housefly,l the bluebottle fly, and more distantly the deer fly are all related to the horsefly.
What do the similarities between the skeletal structures of these four species most likely indicate about their evolutionary history?
These four species are distantly related and share a common ancestor.
