Humans(Homo Sapiens) Have Very Close Cousins In Apes. In Fact Chimpanzees (Pan Troglodytes),bonobos (Pan Paniscus),orangutan(Pongo Abelii) And Gorilla(Gorilla Gorilla) Has Genetic Similarity From 96% To As High As 99.4%. Some Scientists Even Believe That

Humans(Homo sapiens) have very close cousins in apes. In factchimpanzees (Pan troglodytes),bonobos (Panpaniscus),orangutan(Pongo abelii) and gorilla(Gorilla gorilla)has

Genetic similarity from 96% to as high as 99.4%. Some scientistseven believe that they are so similar to humans that some of themshould be reclassified into the genus Homo.Below is given somegenetic sequence of these apes along with humans. You can run adynamic programming algorithm to find out which species has themost genetic similarity with humans.

Homo sapiens AAATTCGTA

Pongo abelii ATGTAGCAT

Pan troglodytes TGCGCGTAG

Gorilla gorilla TACGATCGA

(a) Find out the genetic similarity between humans and each ofthe other species and state which one(s) are the most similar tohumans. Show all steps clearly.

(b) Tell us what is the matching string that helped you to cometo this conclusion. Show how you found this string.
