You have identified a previously unknown human gene that appears to have a role in autism. it is similar enough in dna sequence to a known mouse gene that you believe the two genes may be evolutionarily related. you determine and compare the dna sequences, the predicted mrna sequences, and the predicted amino acid sequences corresponding to the two genes. you would expect to find the greatest sequence similarity from comparisons of the two:

Cladistics is a way of classifying organisms by examining the characteristics of their ancestors and descendants and depicting the relationships in a cladogram. which of the following best describes a challenge in classifying organisms this way? a. there are millions of species on earth, and a cladogram is not a practical means for classifying all of them. b. it is impossible to tell which organisms are most closely related to each other using a cladogram. c. cladograms are detail-oriented and do not provide a useful understanding of evolutionary relationships. d. there is a limited number of ways to organize the information, so most cladograms end up looking very similar.
