Assignment Help:

Based on your reading of the article "New Life for Ancient DNA" which of the following is a  false statement in regards to the comparison among genes in extinct and living species?

A. DNA from well-preserved fossils and carcasses can be isolated, sequenced and compared to the homologous genes of modern day mammals containing humans. 

B. The MC1R gene controls hair/fur color and mutations that decreases its activity lead to lighter colors  (like red and blonde) in Neanderthals, woolly mammoths as well as modern day beach mice and  humans.  

C. A mutant form of the hemoglobin gene, whereas allowing for cold adaptation in woolly mammoths, actually destabilizes the protein in humans therefore causing them to be anemic.

D.  In comparing the DNA of extinct organisms to modern day mammals the most significant and  informative information lies within the genes that comprise the mitochondrial genome.
