In 1865, a biologist, St. George Jackson Mivart, constructed an evolutionary tree of existing primate species with many branches

based on analysis of spinal columns. But to his dismay, another tree based on limb comparison was quite different. Which of the following analyses would be best to include today to determine which tree is more accurate?
A) comparison of genes that control developmentB) comparison of eyes of primatesC) comparison of DNA sequences of primatesD) examination of evolutionary trees constructed by others.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C) "comparison of DNA sequences of primates".

Explanation:

Before DNA analysis was available, biologists took different approaches to construct evolutionary trees among the species. However these approaches were inaccurate and produced variabilities, such as the one constructed by St. George Jackson based on spinal columns analysis and the other tree based on limb comparisons. Nowadays, comparison of DNA sequences is the most widely and accepted method to generate evolutionary trees for being a highly accurate and reliable source to establish common ancestors among species.

Answer:

A) The two genes are unlinked and are assorting independently, leading to a 1:1:1:1 ratio of phenotypes in the offspring.

Explanation:

The χ2 value means nothing on its own--it is used to find the probability that, assuming the hypothesis is true, the observed data set could have resulted from random fluctuations. A low probability suggests the observed data is not consistent with the hypothesis, and thus the hypothesis should be rejected. The hypothesis that you are testing are two genes are unlinked and are assorting independently, leading to a 1:1:1:1 ratio of phenotypes in the offspring.
