Number of differentiations in hemoglobin


In studying evolution, the common characteristic can be compared to find out how much variability exist among species. An example in vertebrate species is the number of differentiations in hemoglobin.

The follow table compares hemoglobin from other species to that of the humans;
Species of different Amino Acids Estimate millions of years from the common ancestors

Rhesus monkey       8       26
Mouse                  25      80
Chicken                45      275
Frog                     70     330
Lamprey               125    450

a) Find out the average number of years per mutation in the hemoglobin for each species listed?
b) Find out the mutation rate in mutation per million years for each species.
c) Which animal demonstrates a mutation rate closet to the average?
d) What percentage of amino acids is different from humans in monkey and lamprey?
