Anabaena is a simple multicellular photosynthetic cyanobacterium. Under specific environmental conditions, newly developing cells along a filament express genes that code for adaptive enzymes and become non-photosynthetic heterocysts. Heterocysts do not carry out photosynthesis but instead, through chemical signals received from nearby cells, specialize to extract a critical substance from the environment. This substance can then be shared with surrounding cells as a building block to help them in their synthesis of polypeptides and nucleic acids. What is the most likely identity of the substance?

How is ribosomal rna useful as a molecular clock? a. a large portion of the dna ring is not vital to structure or function, allowing it to accumulate neutral mutations. b. its rate of mutation increases over time as organisms continue to evolve and differentiate from each other. c. a slow mutation rate makes it useful for determining evolutionary relationships between ancient species. d. it is only found in select organisms, making it easier to compare relationships between species that have it.
