### Amino Acid Sequence Comparison Table

Utilize the following table to answer questions 37-38:

| Species                       | Amino Acid Sequence           | Difference in Sequence to Humans |
|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| Human (mammal)                | Q-H-A-P-H-L-R-G-A-S           | n/a                              |
| Domestic chicken (bird)       | Q-H-E-P-H-K-R-K-R-S           | 4                                |
| Green junglefowl (bird)       | Q-H-E-P-H-E-R-K-R-M           | 5                                |
| Nile crocodile (reptile)      | S-H-D-P-A-Q-Q-K-R-L           | 8                                |

### Notes:
- The amino acid sequences provided represent only partial sequences that are used to compare the differences across species.
- The "Difference in Sequence to Humans" column indicates the number of amino acids differing from the human amino acid sequence.

For educational purposes, these differences can be further explored to understand evolutionary relationships and protein function variations among diverse species.

### Genetic Relationship and Evolutionary Traits

#### Closely Related Species

**Question D**
- The species that are most closely related have the most similar amino acid sequences.

#### Determining Species Related to Humans

**Question 38**
- According to the data shown in the table above, which of the following organisms is most closely related to the human?
  - A. Domestic chicken
  - B. Green junglefowl
  - C. Nile crocodile

#### Evolutionary Traits in Species

**Question 39**
- Which of the following types of traits are considered to be newly evolved features that appear in ...

Unfortunately, the last line of Question 39 is partially cut off. It seems it discusses newly evolved features, possibly in the context of certain species or organisms.
