Evolutionary trees are used in biochemistry to show how certain proteins are related and when they came into existence. below is an evolutionary tree for the made-up protein family, saplin. label the tree according to the statements about the protein family members, then answer the three questions.

Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport

The empty trna moves off and picks up another matching amino acid from the cytoplasm in the cell. the anticodon of the trna, with its attached amino acid, pairs to the codon of the mrna, which is attached to a ribosome. this sequence is repeated until the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mrna, which signals the end of protein synthesis. the ribosome forms a peptide bond between the amino acids, and an amino acid chain begins to form. when a second trna with its specific amino acid pairs to the next codon in sequence, the attached amino acid breaks from the first trna and is bonded to the amino acid of the second trna.

What is the function of the root cap? a. extra-absorbent cells in the root cap absorb more water and nutrients b. protect the meristematic area of the stem c. contains sensors for sunlight d. increases surface area of the root
