Primates and rodents diverged about 65 million years ago, and chimpanzees and humans diverged about 6 million years ago. How many amino acid differences are there between the sequence for the mouse and the sequence for the chimpanzee, gorilla, and rhesus monkey? How many amino acid differences are there between the human sequence and the sequence for the chimpanzee, gorilla, and rhesus monkey? Based solely on the numbers of amino acid differences occurring over these time periods, what might you hypothesize about the rate of evolution of the FOXP2 gene? Based on the information regarding the FOXP2 gene, is your hypothesis correct? Match the terms in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Not all terms will be used.
There difference(s) between the sequence for the mouse and the sequence for the chimpanzee, gorilla, and rhesus monkey. There difference(s) between the human sequence and the sequence for the chimpanzee, gorilla, and rhesus monkey. These facts might lead to a hypothesis that the FOXP2 gene in the human lineage than in other primates. are three are two this is one Later analysis that included more genomes that were more diverse hypothesis. has not been evolving supported
