A human disease termed cardioencephalomyopathy results from a genetic change in the normal function of mitochondria. Babies who are born with the disease generally die from it. Scientists who study this disease using a bacterium known as Paracoccus denitrificans. Scientists were able to produce the same change in the bacterium’s genes that they found in the mitochondria of their human patients.
What is the BEST explanation for why scientists can use a bacterium to study this human disease?
A
Bacterial genes are very similar in structure to human genes.
B
Bacteria can be used as a model to study more complex cells.
C
The genes and chemical pathways found in bacteria are similar to those in human mitochondria.
D
The eukaryotic cells of humans share many characteristics with bacterial cells, including single stranded DNA.

Recent research by marine biologists suggests that bottlenose dolphins have names for themselves. scientists played sounds they had identified as the names of particular dolphins, putting them through a synthesizer so that they did not sound like the voices of particular dolphins. the researchers found that dolphins would respond to the names of other dolphins that they were related to or associated with, but they ignored the names of strangers. this discovery suggests a much greater degree of self-awareness in aquatic mammals than was previously suspected. if this research holds up, what does it suggest about dolphins?
