Molecular Biology and Phylogeny: The Cytochrome-C Lab

From DLESE Community Collection (DCC)
Comment on this resource
In this lesson amino acid sequences in cytochrome-c are compared for several different animals, and the number of differences found are used to infer degrees of relationship. This data is also compared with a cladogram constructed for those same animals from their anatomical features, providing an example of independent confirmation.
