Hemoglobin from two species is compared. on the long protein chains, there are three locations where the amino acids are different. where would you place the common ancestor of the two species on the "tree of life," and why? (i am not sure i have enough information to answer this question but cannot say that on the assignment or will lose points. the context is, "biologists have many ways to study evolution. they can use fossils to learn about ancient species. they can compare the anatomy of modern species. they can observe the order in which cells develop in embryos. all these clues reflect what took place over time at the molecular level. dna and proteins, the genes and the products of genes, provide powerful evidence for descent with modification. as dna changes over time, the proteins that are produced by the dna change too. the result is that many organisms have similar, but not identical, versions of a given protein. differences among these homologous proteins provide clues to evolution. in part a of this lab, you will compare amino acid sequences of hemoglobin from eight mammals. in part b, you will analyze data about sequences in a second protein—cytochrome c. in part b, the organisms will be more diverse." and i am in the pre-lab.
