Question
Chapter 18.5, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The change in protist’s classification on the basis of molecular sequences.
Concept introduction:
At molecular level, evolution can be defined as a process which supports the mutation, which involves the changes in proteins and corresponding genes in the branches of a phylogentic tree. Phylogeny is the interference of evolutionary relationship.
