Morphologically, Species a Is Very Similar to Four Other Species

question 4

Multiple Choice

Morphologically, Species A is very similar to four other species, B-E. Yet the nucleotide sequence deep within an intron in a gene shared by all five of these eukaryotic species is quite different in Species A compared to that of the other four species when one studies the nucleotides present at each position.
Figure 26.4
-If the sequence of Species A differs from that of the other four species due to simple misalignment, then what should the computer software find when it compares the sequence of Species A to those of the other four species?

• A)The nucleotide at position 1 should be different in Species A, but the same in species B-E.
• B)The nucleotide sequence of Species A should have long sequences that are nearly identical to those of the other species, but offset in terms of position number.
• C)The sequences of species B-E, though different from that of Species A, should be identical to each other, without exception.
• D)If the software compares, not nucleotide sequence, but rather the amino acid sequence of the actual protein product, then the amino acid sequences of species B-E should be similar to each other, but very different from that of Species A.
• E)Computer software is useless in determining sequences of introns; it can only be used with exons.

Definitions:

Negative NPV

A situation where the net present value (NPV) of a project or investment is less than zero, indicating that the projected cash flows are insufficient to cover the initial investment.

Discounted Payback Period

The discounted payback period is the time it takes for an investment to generate cash flows sufficient to recover its initial cost, taking the time value of money into account.

Discounted Cash Flows

A valuation method used to estimate the value of an investment based on its future cash flows, adjusted for the time value of money.

Average Accounting Return

A financial ratio that represents the average annual income as a percentage of the initial investment, used in capital budgeting to estimate the profitability of potential investments.
