You are a scientist who discovers three new species of beetles in the jungles of South America. Describe, in detail, how a protein found in each of these beetles can be used to determine which species are more closely related.
Be sure to answer this question in paragraph form using complete sentences.
Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. So, if these amino acids are in anyway related to each other, there can be some similar resemblance between the beetles.
