Question

the diagram below, called a pictogram or sequence logo,is an alignment of neuclotides

The diagram below, called a pictogram or sequence logo, is an alignment of nucleotide sequences from species at 10 different positions. Place the most highly conserved positions and the least conserved positions in an appropriate category. Some positions may not be placed. A seventh species has the sequence AGCATTGGTC for this region of the genome. Which of the six other species is the closest relative of the seventh species? species 4 species 5 species 3 species 6 species 1

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Based on the pictogram:

Amongst positions 1,2,3,6,9,10

The least conserved regions are: Postion 6 and Position 10 (these positions contain variable amount of A T G C in six different species)

The Highest conserved regions are: Position 1 (A in all six species) and Position 9 (T in all six species)

2) Which of the six other species is closest relative of the seventh species?

The sequence at different positions of seventh species is AGCATTGGTC

This sequence matches closely to the species 4.
