What kind of molecular information is commonly used to study phylogeny among ORGANISMS that diverged from a common ancestor relatively long ago?
A. Whole genomes because they are easy to obtain. B. Segments of cellular membrane proteins because the proteins, coded by DNA, are found in all living organisms. C. The mitochondrial genome because it easily incurs neutral mutations. D. Small ribosomal subunit (SSU) RNA because it is found in the genomes of all living organisms. E.

In garden peas, one pair of alleles controls the height of the plant, and a second pair of alleles controls
flower color. The allele for tall (D) is dominant to the allele for dwarf (d), and the allele for purple (P) is dominant to the allele for white (p). A tall purple crossed with a tall purple produces 3/4 tall purple and 1/4 tall white. What is the genotype of the parents? What will be an ideal response?
