A hypothetical phylogenetic tree is shown in Figure Q4-2. Use this tree to answer the following question.
1. How many years ago did species M and N diverge from their last common ancestor? Are M and N more or less closely related to each other than P and S? In looking for functionally important nucleotide sequences, is it more informative to compare the genome sequences of M and N or those of M and Q? Explain.
Homework Answers
Answer:
From the graph,
Species M and N separated from their last common ancestor about 8.5 million years ago.
|
Functionally important nucleotide sequences are critical for survival and are retained during evolution. This means, such sequences would be present in the same form even in those species which separated from their common ancestor long ago. Species M and Q diverged from their common ancestor about 20 million years ago (mya), whereas species M and N separated 8.5 mya . Thus, M and Q separated long ago than M and N. |
| Hence, in looking for functionally important nucleotide sequences, is it more informative to compare the genome sequences of M and Q. |

Some prokaryotic archaea possess mitochondria. Mitochondria are derived from endosymbiotic bacteria. Bacteria is more closely related to Eukarya than to Archaea.

please explain
Use the following information to answer the next two questions. Giardia intestinalis can cause disease in several different mammalian species, including humans. Giardia organisms (G. intestinalis) that infect humans are similar morphologically to those that infect other mammals, thus they have been considered a single species. However, G. intestinalis has been divided into different subgroups based on their host and a few other characteristics. In 1999, a DNA sequence comparison study tested the hypothesis that these subgroups actually...
