Gene Sequence Comparison in AP Biology

This document summarizes the results of a gene sequence analysis experiment. It identifies the species with the most similar gene sequence to the gene of interest for four different genes. For each gene, it states the species, where it is located on the cladogram, and how similar the sequence is. It also identifies the species with the next most similar gene sequence.
