Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 10IMT
For each statement, identify which major theme is evident (the relationship of structure to function, information flow, pathways that transform energy and matter, interactions within biological systems, or evolution) and explain how the statement relates to the theme. If necessary, review the themes (see Chapter-1) and review the examples highlighted in blue in this chapter.
10. Comparisons of DNA sequences can reveal not just recent paternity, but patterns of ancient lineages, such as when humans diverged from other primates.
