Which of the following pairs are orthologs? Which are paralogs? Which are neither?
Human Trypsin and horse Trypsin
Human Trypsin and horse chymotrypsin
Human Trypsin and human elastase
Bacillus subtilis subtilisin and horse chymotrypsin
Orthologs: Orthologs are basically genes present in different species that are known to be evolved from a common ancester. Normally, such genes show same function, and too an extent genetic sequence as well. Examples of orthologs are:
Human trypsin and horse trypsin
Human trypsin and horse chymotypsin
Paralogs: These are basically genes related through duplication within a genome. unlike orthologs, which retain the same function iduring evolution, paralogs show new functions, even if they are related to the original one. examples of paralogs is:
Human trypsin and human elastase .
Neither: As they are not at all related in terms of common
ancestory and aslo subtilisina and chymotrypsin are unrelated
structurally.
