DNA polymerase is an enzyme required in DNA replication. Its role is to synthesize DNA, adding individual nucleotides to each strand of newly synthesized DNA with the help of other enzymes such as primase and ligase. There are several families of DNA polymerase in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, but through different species, portions of DNA polymerase are highly conserved. What do you think is the evolutionary significance of DNA polymerase? What do you think would happen if there was a genetic mutation on the genes encoding for DNA polymerase?
A sample answer would look like this: The DNA polymerase has evolutionary significance because it is required for DNA to be transmitted across generations. A genetic mutation in a gene encoding for DNA polymerase could lead to significant flaws in DNA replication, which could lead to major flaws in the DNA replicated for cell division. This could lead to large-scale errors and result in the death of the organism.

Even though the ostrich is a flightless bird, ostriches still possess wings that stretch approximately two meters across when fully extended. scientists speculate that when dinosaurs became extinct, some of the birds that lived during that time became land dwellers since they were able to consume the food that the dinosaurs once ate. over time, these species grew larger and heavier. eventually, the ostrich species became too big to fly. the wings found on ostriches are known as a. analogous structures. b. homologous structures. c. vestigial structures. d. symmetrical structures.
