Question

I need a little help with these two questions: 4. How might similarities and differences in genetic codes, or the proteins built as a result of these codes, be used to determine how closely related different species are? 5. Based on the amino acid sequence data for the Cytochome-C protein, chimpanzees and humans share an identical coding sequence. What other species identified on the chart has a coding sequence that is most closely related to the humans and chimpanzees and most distantly related? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

please HELP ME

Answer 2

DNA sequences (and the protein amino acid sequences they encode), change by accumulating mutations over many generations. Therefore, the more similar two DNA sequences are, the more recently they shared a common ancestor. Read about molecular clock.

Answer 3

thank you so much

Answer 4

Answer 5
