Q1. Why are traditional morphological and physiological characteristics such as organelles, movement, and nutrition not always reliable as synapomorphic character states?

Q2. Suppose you wanted to create an integral membrane protein, and could only use 2 amino acids: L and S (plus 1 methionine to initiate protein synthesis).

a) What series could you use to make a beta barrel with twelve antiparallel strands? Write out one repeat of the sequence as follows: M-(your sequence) 12.

b) Write out the DNA sequence that encodes this repeat, and include the initiating methionine.
