C Compare the amino acid sequences of the five species below and answer the questions that follow.
Species Sequence of amino acids in the same part of the
hemoglobin molecule
Human Lys – Glu – His – Phe
Horse Arg – Lys – His – Lys
Gorilla Lys – Glu – His – Lys
Chimpanzee Lys- Glu – His – Phe
zebra Arg – Lys – His - Arg
Guide Questions:
7.) Based on the table, which pair of species appears to be more related to each other? Why?
8.) If amino acid sequences of both organisms are similar, does it mean they also have similar DNA? Explain.
