The Question Refers to the Table, Which Compares the Percent

question 66

Multiple Choice

The question refers to the table, which compares the percent sequence homology of four different parts of a gene (two introns and two exons) that is found in five different eukaryotic species. The data show the percentage of sequence homology of each intron and exon in comparison to the sequences in species A.
Percentage of Sequence Homology

Regarding these sequence homology data, how would the principle of maximum parsimony be applicable in comparing them?

• A) distinguishing introns from exons
• B) determining degree of sequence homology
• C) selecting appropriate genes for comparison among species
• D) inferring evolutionary relatedness from the number of sequence differences
