Part A. Consider species A, D, and E Using the data provided, describe how the structures of their keratin proteins would compare.
Part B. Keratin is made up of about 450 amino acids. Determine the similarity in percentages between species A and B A and C, and B
and C. Explain how amino acid sequences can be used in determining how closely related two species are.
Part C. Based on this data, predict which two species would be more closely related to one another
gallns
Part D. Justify your predictions to part C
