Which two globin genes are most divergent from each other? what is the percent amino acid identity between them?

1 answer:

8 0

Globin 1 and globin 2 genes of insects are understood to have diverged approximately 170 million years ago, through duplication, from a common globin gene ancestor. The two genes that code for haemoglobin have conserved regions; oxygen-binding and heme- regions. Globin 2 gene has lost the intron region that is still present in the globin 1 gene. The percentage divergence is 7.2% with 20 varying nucleotides.

What is a control in a science experiment? Please help

adoni [48]

Answer:

Hi There! :P

Explanation:

A controlled experiment is simply an experiment in which all factors are held constant except for one: the independent variable. A common type of controlled experiment compares a control group against an experimental group. All variables are identical between the two groups except for the factor being tested.
