Short Answer
The following sequences have been obtained from a hypothetical gene in three species of Drosophila:
D.melanogaster: GGCTTGTAGCTGTGCTCGCCGCTAGTCGG
D.simulans: AGGCTTGTAGCTGTGCTCGCCGCTAGTAGG
D.erecta: AGGGTAGCTGTGCTCACCGCTCGTCGG
If we assume that each observed nucleotide change is equivalent to two nucleotide substitutions, a total of _______ substitution(s) has/have occurred between D.melanogaster and D.simulans.
