The biochemical characteristics of proteins can be used to infer evolutionary relationships and construct evolutionary trees. A proposed evolutionary tree is shown for the oxygen-binding globin family of proteins. Leghemoglobin Myoglobin Hemoglobin Which statement provides a strong biochemical rationale for the positions of the proteins in the evolutionary tree shown? O Sequence shuffling suggests that the alignment of myoglobin and hemoglobin is completely random, but the alignment of myoglobin and leghemoglobin is non-random. O All three proteins have very similar three-dimensional structure, and myoglobin and hemoglobin have a very high degree of sequence homology. O Hemoglobin exhibits cooperative O, binding, whereas leghemoglobin and myoglobin do not. O Hemoglobin and leghemoglobin have a very similar three-dimensional structure, but myoglobin and hemoglobin have a very different primary sequence.
