Question

task 3: look at the table below. answer the questions on the table to the right about the table on the left.
species\tpercentage of p53 gene sequences similar to human
human\t100%
whale\t85%
elephant\t83%
pig\t81.3%
how many species are on the table
what percentage of p53 genes in 85%
what is the percentage of p53 gene similarity for pigs?
which organism in the table has the most differences in its dna sequence from the human p53 gene?

Explanation:

Step1: Count species

Count the number of rows in the "Species" - side of the table. There are 4 species (Human, Whale, Elephant, Pig).

Step2: Identify 85% species

From the table, the species with 85% p53 - gene similarity to human is Whale.

Step3: Find pig's similarity

From the table, the percentage of p53 gene similarity for pigs is 81.3%.

Step4: Determine most different

The lower the percentage of similarity, the more differences in DNA sequence. Among the given species, Pig has the lowest percentage (81.3%) of p53 - gene similarity to human, so Pig has the most differences in its DNA sequence from the human p53 gene.

Answer:

1. 4
2. Whale
3. 81.3%
4. Pig
