2019 APⓇ BIOLOGY FREE-RESPONSE QUESTIONS TABLE 1. DIVERGENCE (IN PERCENT) OF MITOCHONDRIAL DNA SEQUENCES AMONG FIVE PRIMATE SPECIES Human Gibbon Gorilla Orangutan 10.3 Human 16.1 18.1 Gorilla 16.7 18.9 10.6 Orangutan 18.9 17.2 Gibbon. 18.9 Chimpanzee 5. A researcher studying the evolutionary relationship among five primate species obtained data from a sequence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from a representative individual of each species. The researcher then calculated the percent divergence in the sequences between each pair of primate species (Table 1). (a) Based on fossil data, the researcher estimates that humans and their most closely related species in the data set diverged approximately seven million years ago. Using these data, calculate the rate of mtDNA percent divergence per million years between humans and their most closely related species in the data set. Round your answer to two decimal places.
