The question refers to the following table, which compares the percent sequence homology of four different parts (two introns and two exons) of a gene that is found in five different eukaryotic species. Each part is numbered to indicate its distance from the promoter (for example, Intron I is the one closest to the promoter). The data reported for species A were obtained by comparing DNA from one member of species A to another member of species A.

Which of these four gene parts should allow the construction of the most accurate phylogenetic tree, assuming that this is the only part of the gene that has acted as a reliable molecular clock?

A 32-year-old man complains of frequent urination. He is overweight (280 lb, 5 ft 10 in tall), and after measuring the 24-hr creatinine clearance, you estimate his GFR to be 150 ml/min. His plasma glucose is 300 mg/dL. Assuming that his renal transport maximum for glucose is normal, as shown in the figure above, what would be this patient’s approximate rate of urinary glucose excretion?
