4. Based on the chart above, what species do humans appear to be most related to? Why? 5. Based on the chart above, what species do humans appear to be least related to? Why?
hold on
here is the chart
Most related = least differences Least Related = most differences
what?
4. Based on the chart above, what species do humans appear to be most related to? Why? Most related = least differences (assuming this chart is comparison between the differences of nucleotides in a conserved sequence) Because the more changes in nucleotides (e.g. through mutations) related to when two organisms diverged from a common ancestor. For example, if you have sequences from 3 different organisms: 1. AAAAAA 2. AAAAAT 3. AAAATT we can say that 3 is more related to 2 than to 1 because they are more similar (or alternatively, have less differences). 5.
