Which of the following best describes evidence from biochemistry that a geneticist studying evolutionary relationships might use to determine that two species are not closely related? A) Each species has a different reproductive mechanism. B) One species has genetic material that contains different nucleotides. C) Similar gene sequences in each species code for different proteins

For example, different species of birds may have different mating rituals, but they are still closely related. B) One species having genetic material that contains different nucleotides may indicate that they have undergone mutations, but it does not necessarily Show more…

Which of the following best describes evidence from the field of biochemistry that an evolutionary biologist would NOT use to support the modern concept of evolution? a. Two closely related species are found in different geographical areas. b. Two distantly related species have the same method of reproduction. c. Two species that are different in appearance share similar patterns of development. d. Two species that are similar in appearance have different genetic codes.
The study of developmental biology shows that A. closely related species will show similarities in embryos. B if species have changed over time, their genes should have changed. C closely related species will show similarities in amino acid sequences. D distantly related species will show similarities in anatomy.
