AMINO ACID AT POSITION 104 OF β-HEMOGLOBIN Β- hemоglоbin is а highly cоnserved protein аmong vertebrаtes. The identity of amino acid 104, one of the variable amino acids in the polypeptide, in four vertebrate species is shown in the table. Species Amino Acid 104 Horse Arginine (Arg) Gorilla Lysine (Lys) Chimpanzee Arginine (Arg) Human Arginine (Arg) Figure 1. Student-constructed Phylogenetic Tree of Vertebrate Species with Incorrect Placement of “Lys” A student constructed the phylogenetic tree shown in Figure 1 by comparing the amino acid sequences of β-hemoglobin in the four species. The student placed “Lys” at an incorrect position on the phylogenetic tree in an attempt to show when the mutation affecting amino acid 104 occurred. Refine the student’s model by placing “Lys” at the correct position on the phylogenetic tree to indicate where the Arg-to-Lys mutation most likely occurred. Provide ONE piece of reasoning to support your placement of “Lys” on the phylogenetic tree. (2 pts) Predict the most likely single mutation affecting amino acid 104 in the species and justify how β-hemoglobin can function normally in all four species despite the mutation. (2 pts)
