The sketch shows a rynchosaur, an extinct animal that is known only from fossils. there has been much debate about the classification of these creatures. some scientists suggest that they belong with primitive amphibians, and some think they are related to snakes and lizards.the data equally support both cases. which statement best explains how to draw a cladogram that includes the rynchosaur? draw the cladogram for amphibians. draw the cladogram for reptiles. draw two cladograms, both showing the traits, and leave it as a hypothesis. draw two cladograms, both showing the traits, and have scientists vote

One function of the poly-a tail on eukaryotic mrna sequences is to the mrna be transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. prokaryotic mrna also has a poly-a tail. choose the best explanation of the prokaryotic poly-a tail. a. prokaryotic poly-a tails are composed of a different molecular structure compared with eukaryotic poly-a tails. b. prokaryotic poly-a tails have the same functions as eukaryotic poly-a tails, because this process is highly conserved throughout different species. c. prokaryotic poly-a tails aren't important, because prokaryotes don't have nuclei. d. prokaryotic poly-a tails have other functions,because prokaryotes don't have nuclei.

Why do some dna fragments move farther than others during gel electrophoresis? a. because their shapes are different b. because they are different types of molecules c. because the samples are different colors d. because their masses are different
