10. If there are very few differences in the DNA of two different species, what can we infer about their relationship? For examp

le, human and chimpanzee DNA are about 98.8% the same, while human and gorilla DNA are 98.4% the same. Which species is more closely related to humans based on this information, chimpanzees or gorillas?

Answer:

Chimpanzees.

Explanation:

DNA sequence similarity is helpful to determine the evolutionary relationship between the organisms. The evolutionary tree can easily be constructed if the percentage of the DNA sequence similarity is known.

The human shows 98.8% sequence similarity with chimpanzee. The sequence similarity between human and gorilla DNA is 98.4%. This means Chimpanzee are more closely related to humans than gorillas.

Thus, the answer is chimpanzee.

Protein Structure Evaluation Based on Gel Filtration Data A new protein of unknown structure has been purified. Gel filtration c
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Based on the given information, the disruption of hydrogen bonds and other weak forces that helps in integrating the structure of the protein is mediated by guanidine hydrochloride, that is, it denatures the protein. Only a solitary peak of Mr 60000 is witnessed post denaturation. This clearly shows that only one peptide of Mr 60000 is left in the solution post denaturation.  

Of the entire protein of molecular weight 240000 D, post denaturation only the protein of 60000 D got left, which shows that the protein comprises four subunits of 60000 D, and thus, is a tetramer.  

With the addition of 10 mM beta-mercaptoethanol, the protein got further dissociated into two subunits of molecular weight 34000 D and 26000 D showing that each subunit of protein was linked by disulfide bonds, which got broken with the addition of beta-mercaptoethanol.
