LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Protein sequences in one organism that resemble those of another suggest that they share a common ancestor. If the Evo-Dots lab had continued for another 5 generations, the number of different color populations would most likely decreased.

Detailed explanation-2: -Organisms with similar genetic sequences are also likely to have similar protein configurations because they will have the same DNA and RNA to form the proteins. One example is the Human and Chimpanzee compared to the Rhesus Monkey. There is only one difference in the protein sequences for those two categories.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is an example of protein sequence similarity among species? Sheep keratin and the keratin in human hair.

Detailed explanation-4: -That two species and their common ancestor have similar DNA is strong evidence supporting evolution. Protein amino acid sequences can also be used to compare similarities between species.

Detailed explanation-5: -We are looking for a type of sequencing that shows the genetic homologies between organisms. The most common method for this purpose is “Comparative Genomics".
