Q What was the protein sequence for the FOXP2 gene from Taeniopygia guttata. How similar or different was it than the protein from Strideo magna? How similar or different were the gene sequences for the genes for Taeniopygia guttata and Strideo magna? How many bases were different? Were there any bases that you couldn’t be sure of in any of the codons? Why? Would that variation in bases affect the overall sequence of amino acids in the protein? Why would a similarity in genes indicate a shared evolutionary history? What are the roles of mRNA, tRNA and rRNA in translation? What role does mutation play in the evolution of a species and the development of new characteristics?
