What is the Woolly Mammoth's Closest Living Relative?
R
Use DNA Sequencing to Trace the Blue Whale's Evolutionary Tree
R
Build a family tree for the primates, including Homo sapiens, based on the similarity of mitochondrial proteins by using the BLAST bioinformatics tool.
R
Identify T. Rex's closest living relative by using simple bioinformatics tools.
R
Use a computer program on the Web to compare a DNA sequence from several human genes with the corresponding genes in other animals. This will allow us to infer how closely related we are to those animals.
R
Compare a protein's amino acid sequence in a couple of animals to infer how closely related they are to one another.
