80% divergence of two proteins from a common ancestor.

Concept introduction:

All the living organisms arise from primitive organisms. The new organisms are called descendents while the primitive organisms are called forefathers or ancestors.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

50% divergence of two proteins from a common ancestor.

Concept introduction:

The evolutionary process in which organisms from a common ancestor attainnew traits and become different from each other. The amino acid sequence gives an interpretation about the rate of divergence in different organisms.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

20% divergence of two proteins from a common ancestor.
