I am not good inn Biology :/

But maybe @Abhisar @pooja195 @aaronq @deepika.comet can help you :)

anonymous · Answer

Directly compare horses and pigeons instead of horses & humans and pigeons & humans.

@Emileigh23 is right do what shes saying Directly compare horses and pigeons instead of horses & humans and pigeons & humans.

anonymous · Answer

ok..

pooja195 · Answer

do you know how to do that?

anonymous · Answer

Im trying... not the best with Bio @pooja195

pooja195 · Answer

alright show me what you got so far :)

anonymous · Answer

im doing it on paper..hold on

pooja195 · Answer

ok take your time :)

anonymous · Answer

well they both have 12 differences...

anonymous · Answer

idk-_-

I did this about a month ago for biology.

There is a graph that you didn't attach yet.

Because they are equally different from humans? Is that the answer?

confluxepic · Answer

Just compare the amino acids between a horse and a pigeon.

anonymous · Answer

Uh... so how do I do that? Would I subtract 104 (humans) from 12 = 92?

confluxepic · Answer

No. Just write that to refute the hypothesis you must compare the amino acids between the two species.

anonymous · Answer

Oh..thats it?

confluxepic · Answer

The graph only showed the difference of cytochrome c between humans and other species.

It could not clearly show the difference between thecompared species compared to the other compared species. That's why supporting the hypothesis that horses and pigeons are related is not correct.

Earlier in the assignment it compares the amino acid to other species to determine how close the species were. We find that chimpanzees have no difference in amino acids to humans which is why we are so related to them.

You can do the same to the horses and pigeons to determine how close they are. We can obviously tell that they are not closely related which is why we are refuting the hypothesis in the first place.

There's a lot more than you think there is.
