The earlier that two genes arose from a duplicated gene, themore their nucleotide sequences can have diverged, which mayresult in amino acid differences in the protein products. (a) Basedon that premise, identify which two genes are most divergentfrom each other. What is the percent amino acid identity betweentheir polypeptides? (b) Using the same approach, identify whichtwo globin genes are the most recently duplicated. What is thepercent identity between them?

Genome annotation

The technique of linking biological information to genome sequences is termed genome annotation. Gene annotation is the method of identifying gene locations and coding sections. It helps us understand what these genes are doing in the body through establishing structural characteristics and linking them to the actions of various proteins.
