The following data table summarizes the number of differences in amino acid sequences found for four different species. Amino Ac
id Dissimilarities for Beta Hemoglobin Protein A B C D A 8 3 5 B 0 1 C 5 D Based on the data table, which two species are most closely related? A. species A and species B B. species B and species D C. species B and species C D. species C and species D
1 answer:
The correct answer is species B and C.
As you can see in the diagram presented below, all of the other species have a number of differences between their amino-acid sequences, but in the case of species B and C there are no differences. This implies a close evolutionary relationship between the two species.
