The FtsZ protein is present in prokaryotes and in chloroplasts. The protein is structurally and functionally similar to tubulin proteins of eukaryotic cells. Which of the following is a likely conclusion to draw from this information? (2012 Practice exam; #20) (A) FtsZ and tubulin proteins were both present in a common ancestor. (B) Microtubules are involved in the mechanics of photosynthesis. (C) Tubulin genes are evolutionarily derived from the gene that codes for the FtsZ protein. (D) The sequences of the genes encoding the FtsZ and tubulin proteins are identical.
