This question refers to the following table, which compares the percent sequence homology of four different parts (two introns and two exons) of a gene that is found in five different eukaryotic species. Each part is numbered to indicate its distance from the promoter (e.g., Intron I is the one closest to the promoter). The data reported for species A were obtained by comparing DNA from one member of species A to another member of species A. % Sequence Homology Species Intron I Exon I Intron VI Exon VI A 100 100 100 100 98 99 82 96 C 98 99 89 96 99 99 92 97 E 98 99 80 94 Which of these four gene parts should allow the construction of the most accurate phylogenetic tree, assuming that this is the only part of the gene that has acted as a reliable molecular clock?

Question

Transcribed Image Text:This question refers to the following table, which compares the percent sequence homology of four
different parts (two introns and two exons) of a gene that is found in five different eukaryotic
species. Each part is numbered to indicate its distance from the promoter (e.g., Intron I is the one
closest to the promoter). The data reported for species A were obtained by comparing DNA from
one member of species A to another member of species A.
