In comparing the number of differences in amino acids for cytochrome c: between a moth and a rattlesnake there are 31 different amino acids in the sequence, between a moth and a dog there are only 25, and there are 6 differences between a dog and a horse. Therefore,

b. dogs had to evolve earlier than horses, since moths are more primitive.
c. evolution used to be considered a unifying theory until biochemical data showed only differences.
d. added to anatomical similarities and fossil records, this provides additional evidence for constructing a phylogeny or family tree.
e. biochemical information is not relevant to the evolution of organisms.
d. added to anatomical similarities and fossil records, this provides additional evidence for constructing a phylogeny or family tree.
