Clarity why a diagram of evolution looks more like a bush than a straight line

The reason why an evolutionary diagram looks more like a bush than a straight line is the development of new species.

To be more clear - initially we can have one species, and that species will over time start to live in multiple different environments. As the species starts to adapt to the new environment, its appearance and genetics are gradually changing in order for it to have more advantageous traits to survive in the environment. As the time passes, the changes that will emerge in some members will create a new species, and that process will constantly go on, until extinction that is. So we have one species that is an ancestor of multiple new species, thus the family tree, or rather evolutionary diagram, starts to branch out, and as the time passes, it will branch out more and more and take a bush-like looks.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (replication is not conservative);

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
