Question

1. lion geography, genetics, and phylogeny
2. why are some dna sequences different from others?
3. what does this mean in terms of prides relatedness?
4. which two populations share the most genetic information? how do you know?
5. based on the data, a lion from the fannie roberts pride most likely interacted with which pride?
6. how is a gene different than dna?

Explanation:

1. Differences in DNA sequences can indicate the degree of relatedness within a pride. More similar sequences suggest closer - relatedness, while more different sequences suggest more distant relatedness.
2. To determine which two populations share the most genetic information, one would compare DNA sequences (e.g., through genetic markers or gene sequencing). The populations with the highest degree of similarity in their DNA sequences share the most genetic information.
3. Without specific data, it's impossible to answer precisely. However, if there is genetic data showing high similarity between the Fannie Roberts pride and another pride, that other pride is the most likely one for interaction.
4. DNA is a long - chain molecule that contains the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms. A gene is a specific segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein or RNA molecule and is responsible for a specific trait or function.

Answer:

1. More similar DNA sequences mean closer relatedness; more different ones mean more distant relatedness.
2. The populations with the most similar DNA sequences share the most genetic information, determined by comparing DNA sequences.
3. Cannot be determined without specific data; look for the pride with high genetic similarity to Fannie Roberts pride.
4. DNA is a large - scale genetic molecule; a gene is a specific segment of DNA coding for a protein or RNA and a trait.
