Molecular Evidence for Evolutionary Relationships
From the WGBH Teacher’s Domain
"In this activity, students learn about the evolutionary relationship between humans and other organisms, such as yeast. They compare the amino acid sequences in cytochrome-c for a variety of organisms and use this information to infer evolutionary relationships. They also learn about the role of homeobox genes in controlling animal body plans and what this indicates about the evolution of animals."
