How can DNA analysis or amino acid sequences of Cytochrome C of organisms today be used to support the theory of evolution?
On page 170 in your text, you will find an activity that examines the use of amino acid sequencing in Cytochrome C protein to compare the relatedness between orgainsms. During class we worked in cooperative teams to compare the amino acid sequences for the Cytochrome C protein in horses, donkeys, whales, chickens, penguins, snakes, moths, yeast, and wheat using a more detailed handout. A cladogrom was then devised based on the data.
Today we checked answers to the study guide questions relating to section 3 that were assigned as homework on Monday. If you were absent, you may get a copy of the handout when you return.
Everyone should finish the study guide for homework tonight.
The Evolution unit test (Ch. 5)is on Friday. Remember that all students who did not earn 80 or higher on the modern genetics test are required to do workbook pages 47-56 and show them to me for a grade before the test.
