Question

The table is showing you the amino acid sequence of the same protein in different organisms. What information can you gain by analyzing this table? A) It can show you chromosomal abnormalities. B) It can show you how well the protein will function in the organism. C) It can show you which organism is most closely related to the human. D) It can show you whether or not the organisms carry a genetic disease.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

It can show you which organism is most closely related to the human. The more similar the DNA, the greater the degree of relatedness, or the more recent in time the two organisms diverged from a common ancestor. If there is a great difference in DNA sequencing, this suggests that the organisms shared a common ancestor a long time ago.

Answer 2

Answer:

C) It can show you which organism is most closely related to the human.

Explanation:

Different proteins might have same structure and function in different organisms
