Differences between the amino acid sequence of human cytochrome c and that of 5 other species are given in the choices below. Based on this information, humans are most closely related to:
a.) pigeons; 12 amino acid differences
b.) frogs; 20 amino acid differences
c.) fruit flies; 24 amino acid differences
d.) yeast; 42 amino acid differences
A is correct answer because lesser the difference in amino acid , more will be similarity. Also aves are more closely related to humans than other.

A part of the aminoacid sequence in Cytochrome-C protein from 6 different species is given in the table. Rank the organisms from 1 to 5 according to the similarity of the organism to human: based on the similarity between the cytochrome C aminoacid sequences, 1 being the closest to human. It is largely agreed that the greater the number of amino acid (or nucleotide) differences between a given pair of organisms, the further apart they are in evolution. On the...
Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species. a) Cytochrome C is an important mitochondrial protein found in most organisms. The table below indicates the number of similarities in the amino acids found within Cytochrome C compared across five different species. Based on the data in the table, draw a phylogenetic tree that reflects the evolutionary relationships of the organisms based on the differences in their cytochrome c amino acid sequence. Based on the data, identify which species is most...
how to draw a phylogeny tree
based on the information of amino acids in table 2 ?with
explanation please
by using the amino acid differences between the species in the
table, for example it can be seen that chimpanzees are similar to
humans .....

Up till now, we have assumed that all codons coding for the same amino acid are interchangeable. In fact, this not entirely true. In many species, it has been observed that certain codons are (slightly) favored. This is called codon bias. For example, AAA and AAG both code for lysine. If, in a particular species, the AAA codon is used preferentially, we would call that codon bias. One source of codon bias has to do with the efficiency of the...
Humans and Chimps share a 9,826 nucleotides out of 10,000 in
sequences. Therefore, the Human and Chimp nucleotide difference out
of 10,000 is 174. Gorillas and my new species differ by only 165
nucleotides. A) K=(-3/4)In(1-(4(0.0174)/3))=0.0176050171.
L=K/2t=0.0176050171/2(6600000)=1.33x10^-9. B)
K=(-3/4)In(1-(4(0.0165)/3))=0.0166842067. t=K/2L=0.0166842067. That
is 6.2x10^6 years ago. By using the molecular clock method to
estimate the two species, we can say that the species most likely
diverged nearly 6 million years ago. C) I am uncertain what to
write here but I...
