All my specific instructions are in red. You can’t edit this document directly, but, have to save it with a new name to your own computer/tablet/device. You will have to do some work on paper as well, but, all of the answers have to be in this document. You can work alone or in pairs. Groups of 3 will be graded at a higher standard. You actually have to READ the packet and instructions to do it correctly. Bird Brains || student handoutP On the surface, mushrooms and monkeys don’t seem to have much in common. But at the genetic such basic survival functions tend to be shared by these two organisms aren’t so different after many organisms, making them an ideal tool for scientists who want to learn more about all. Monkeys, mushrooms, and just about all other living creatures have a gene that codes for a relationships among species. In this activity, you will use Cytochrome C data to predict evolutionary protein called Cytochrome C, which plays a central role in releasing energy from food.
