Which has a wider array of structures: proteins, DNA, or RNA? Explain why.

In your own words, explain common functional relatedness, structural relatedness, and ancestral gene relatedness of conserved regions of proteins.

Explain why protein domains that contain structurally or functionally important amino acid sequences would be conserved between organisms that are very distantly related.

Why are cysteines important to the structure of a protein?

Explain the role of p53 and how its mutation leads to increased growth rate in the cell.

Which mutations most commonly lead to cancer – somatic cell or germ-line?

When a species occupirs a wide area, its phenotyprs usually vary actoss its geographic range. This variation results from different evolutionary processes in different environments.
Contrast adaptive evolution from non-adaptive evolution and give an example of how each can generate phenotype variation among population of a species
