Description
Students will create a claudogram using the amino acid sequences given.
The answer key will be as follows:
# of Amino Acid differences compared to the human
Catfish: 10
R.Monkey: 2
Frog: 9
G.White Shark: 14
Zebra:7
Analysis and Conclusion:
1. Student answers vary
3. Rhesus Monkey because this species shares the most number of amino acids with the human species.
4. Great White Shark because this species has the most differences in amino acids when compared to a human species.
5. Molecular evidence is more reliable because it looks into the genetic makeup of a species and not just what they look like physically on the outside.
