The mutation, which affects a protein called CCR5 on the surface of white blood cells, prevents HIV from entering these cells and damaging the immune system. Around 10% of today's Europeans carry the mutation, a significantly higher proportion than in other populations.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

  1. Modern camels are more related to Camelops than to Aepycamelus.
  2. Pliauchenia and Oxydactylus may share similar feautres.
  3. Procamelus and Stenomylous may share similar features.

Explanation:

The chart given explains how the camels are evolved between Eocene (33 myo) and Pleistocene.

  1. According to the chart, modern-day camels (Camelus) are a closer phylogenetic relative of Camelops because they are clustered together in the Pleistocene age section. However, Aepycamelus is last recorded in the Upper Miocene and later became extinct (or no record is found in Pliocene and Pleistocene).
  2. Pliauchenia and Oxydactylus have a single ancestor "Protylopus" which can be seen in the Eocene age. Although Protylopus were branched to two species in upper Miocene, it is not difficult to believe that they share many genetic similarities (features) in both lineages.
  3. Similarly, Procamelus and Stenomylous are the descendants of Poebrotherium and got apart at the end of the Oligocene, therefore, they will also share several features similar to each other.
