BLAST Practice for Fossil DNA Clues

Learning Objectives

Was sind Synapomorphien?

Synapomorphien sind messbare oder quantifizierbare physikalische Merkmale, die zur Unterscheidung und Aufteilung von Gruppen von Lebewesen herangezogen werden können.

Was sind Dendrogramme?

Lab Prep

Students use BLAST to test evolutionary hypotheses by comparing DNA sequences. BLAST, or Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, helps match a gene sequence to similar sequences in a database. In this activity, the comparison is used to investigate a mystery fossil and its possible living relatives.
