of Evolution
Molecular Evidence
• Our handy amino acid chart works for every organism
• Most organisms share similar enzymes
• All organisms use ATP for energy
DNA
• The DNA code (ATCG) is the same for every known organism
• Comparing genes from different organisms can indicate how
closely related they are
Human hemoglobin gene: ATTTTCGGAGGCATACG
Zebrafish hemoglobin gene: ATCTTGGGGGGTGAACG
Mouse hemoglobin gene: ATCTTCGGGGGCAAACG
