These two enzymes are found in
nearly all living organisms. When
you studied the cytoskeleton, you
learned about the proteins actin
and tubulin. Actin and tubulin are
found in all eukaryotes.
VAn actin gene in humans is
92% identical to the homologous
actin gene in mice. An actin gene

The phylogenies are mismatched due to
conjugation if only one gene is studied
"Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, so
inheritance and evolution are different than
eukaryotes."
