Figure 1
This node in figure 1 corresponds to the node with the ADH4 that is highly efficient and digesting ethanol
what is Node 54?
describe the trends outlined in figure 2
What is early HCG asestsor of humans were not as efficient at digesting geraniol but were highly efficient at digesting ethanol
this node was the fastest at metabolizing ethanol
node 54
This primate primate is distantly related to humans but developed the ability to digest ethanol on its own.
What is an aye aye?
the role that geraniol played in plants
What is antifeedant?
using table 1 and figure 1 this ancestor was most likely tested for node 52
what is the given
The proposed reason that the aye aye could have developed A294V mutation
What is their diet including a lot of sap and grass which ferment naturally?
A precursor to the modern day ADH4 that allows humans to digest ethanol
this node was much better at metabolizing geraniol than node 54 but was the worst at metabolizing ethanol
what is node 44
The reason that being able to eat fermented fruit helped humanoids in natural selection.
What is there is a lack of competition for those food sources?
measured by which the graphs are comparing early ancestors
what is substrate oxidation rates?
this is a possible reason for why node 44 is so much worse at digesting ethanol
what previously to node 54 primates diets was mostly composed of foods that did not contain ethanol and natural selection did not select for species that could digest ethanol
