Which of the following biochemicals is not used to make evolutionary comparisons?
A. cytochrome c
B. DNA
C. glucose
D. ATP
= I got C Glucose, because the structure is not affected by evolution or genetics.
What do you think about it , sir ?
You can argue about both C and D. Glucose and ATP are both ubiquitous central molecules in the metabolism of all known living organisms. The various pathways that utilize or produce those molecules have utility in comparing organisms.
Since ATP is used in the synthesis of RNA and its counterpart, dATP, is used in the synthesis of DNA, more information can be gleaned from ATP, so I concur with your answer.
