Question

When comparing certain amino acid sequences in the protein hemoglobin of humans to those of other animals, scientists found that baboons had seven different amino acids (than the human protein), dogs had ten different amino acids, gorillas had one different amino acid and lemurs had eight different amino acids. Which of these animals is most closely related to humans

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

animal having amino acid sequence most similar to man's will be closely related . The difference between types of amino acid in hemoglobin of  baboon and man is seven , between dog and man is ten , between gorilla and man is one and between lemur and man is eight . So difference is least in case of gorilla. So gorilla is supposed to be closest to man in ancestry.
