For this item, we can notice that the first sequence is exactly identical to the second sequence. With this information, we can therefore assume that no alteration has been made to the protein.</span><span>
ANSWER: NO Alteration in Protein
2) </span><span>ATTGAGACCGT → GAGACCAGT
Since I do not know the bolded letters, I am not sure whether the region that was lost in the second sequence (ATT) is a noncoding region. Nevertheless, we can see that the second sequence is missing another A aside from the three initial letters.
ANSWER: Chance of Alteration in Protein
3) </span><span>TATAATATTA → TATATATTA
Like the previous item, an A is also missing in the second sequence for this item. The missing A comes in between the second and third T. Without the bolded letters, I cannot be sure whether this missing A is a noncoding region or not, but anyway this still indicates a chance of alteration in protein.
</span>ANSWER: Chance of Alteration in Protein
4) <span>ATTCATCTGG → ATTCATCGTGG
There is also one missing letter in this item like the previous two items. This time, it is the letter G that's supposed to be in between the rightmost C and T. Not knowing the bolded letters, we can still say that this missing G is a chance of alteration in protein.
</span>ANSWER: Chance of Alteration in Protein <span> 5) </span><span>TACCTACT → TACCTACT
</span>In this item, we can notice that the first sequence is exactly identical to the second sequence, just like the one in the first item. With this, we can therefore assume that no alteration has been made to the protein.
ANSWER: NO Alteration in Protein
6) <span>GATCTTACTT → GATCTTACTT
We can also notice in this item that the second sequence is still the same as the first sequence. Thus, this information will tell us exactly what we have concluded for items #1 and #5. Having no change in the sequence would definitely mean that the protein is not altered.
Divergent evolution is the process of two or more related species becoming more and more dissimilar. In this type of evolution groups of species from the same common ancestor evolve and accumulate differences, resulting in the formation of new species.
For example; <em><u>The red fox and the kit fox. The red fox and the kit fox both have a common ancestor but have gone through the process of divergent evolution. It has adapted to its mixed farmland and forest environment. Its red color helps it to blend in with the trees. </u></em>
<em><u>The kit fox is sandy in appearance because it lives in the desert. It also has larger ears than the red fox and its larger ears help the fox release excess body heat in the desert.</u></em>
<span>The cerebellum which is responsible for motor skills, experiences the most rapid growth during the first year of life. The cerebellum is also responsible for balance as well as muscle tone. The cerebellum is one of the most important parts of the brain.</span>
