Question

The following data table summarizes the number of differences in amino acid sequences found for four different species. Amino Acid Dissimilarities for Beta Hemoglobin Protein A B C D A 8 3 5 B 0 1 C 5 D Based on the data table, which two species are most closely related? A. species A and species B B. species B and species D C. species B and species C D. species C and species D

Answer 1
