Question

a lab technician analyzes samples for their genetic similarity. genetic dendrogram a dendrogram shows the statistical similarity between samples. in the example, a and b are 0.8 (or 80%) similar to each other but only 0.2 (20%) similar to c. a, b, and c are all 0.0 (0%) similar to d. what is the genetic similarity between a2 and a6? a. 0.05 b. 0.1 c. 0.15 d. 0.2

Explanation:

Step1: Locate A2 and A6 on dendrogram

Find the branches of A2 and A6.

Step2: Determine similarity value

Trace back to the similarity - scale. The value where their branches meet the common branch is 0.1.

Answer:

B. 0.1
