Answer:
Sections of DNA are more similar in organism more closely related
Cytochrome c is used to provide evidence for evolution because most animals have this protein and is has undergone very little changes in these organisms such that more closely related species have the most similarity in amino acid sequence of cytochrome c
Explanation:
Cytochrome c is a protein found in mitochondria and is an important enzyme in cellular respiration. Cytochrome c is a highly conserved (have undergone very little changes) protein that in found in many different species of organismsmsuch as plants, animals, and many unicellular organisms. Cytochrome c is made up of about 104 amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Being a small-sized molecule (molecular weight about 12,000 daltons) also makes it easier for evolutionary studies to be conducted on it.
Organisms that are most closely related have the most similarity in the amino acid sequence of the cytochrome c molecule. The amino acid sequences in cytochrome c molecule present in organisms is as a result of the information in their DNA.Thus, sections of DNA are more similar in more closely related organisms.
