How DNA comparisons reveal evolutionary relationships

Scientists compare sequences; more similar sequences generally indicate a closer evolutionary relationship.

2
New cards

Significance of a greater number of DNA differences between organisms

Indicates a more distant evolutionary relationship.

3
New cards

How amino acid sequences reveal evolutionary relationships

Scientists compare the amino acid sequences of equivalent proteins; more similarities generally indicate a closer relationship.

New cards

Why amino acid sequences provide evidence for evolution

Protein sequences are determined by DNA, so similarities can indicate inheritance from a common ancestor.
