    This document provides instructions for a student to construct a phylogenetic tree analyzing sequence variation in the GAPDH gene across multiple species, and then answer questions about the tree. The student is asked to choose 5-6 organisms with the GAPDH gene, construct the tree, and analyze which organism is most closely related and distantly related to humans based on the tree, as well as the maximum difference between these relationships.

    Title : Phylogenetic Tree analysis

    Answer the following questions below and upload them in the google
    form.

    1. Construct a phylogenetic tree among diverse species based on the sequence variation in
    the GAPDH gene. Choose any five or six different organisms with the same gene GAPDH.
    Note that it is important to choose the organism with GAPDH as the gene name and not
    anything else.

    a. Mention the chosen organisms here.

    b. How does this information contribute to our understanding of evolution of this gene in
    humans and other organisms?

    2. After constructing the phylogenetic tree analyze the following,

    a. Mention the organism that is highly similar to homo sapiens?


    b. Mention the organism that is distantly related to homo sapiens?

    c. What is the “Max difference” between the closely related and the distantly related
    species?
