Research on the zebrafish golden gene important for understanding human biology revealed that the gene SLC24A5 influences production of the pigment melanin.

<h3>What is Gene?</h3>

This is defined as the basic unit of heredity and is transferred from parent to offspring thereby resulting in some shared traits and examples include skin color, height etc.

Researches have however been done on the zebrafish golden gene which is responsible for its color as it affects the way melanin is produced in the organism.

Humans on the other hand, have two proteins present in the skin which are melanin and keratin in which the former is responsible for the skin color also.

This is therefore the reason why research on the zebrafish golden gene is important for understanding human biology due to the similarities between them.

Evidence of evolution 1. make drawings to explain the difference between homologous and analogous structures. 2. define vestigia
Shtirlitz [24]
Ok this is going to make me work sadly with a time restraints that I have I will be unable to draws the first picture however the rest I can do. 2. vestigial structures are generally parts of an animal's body that is unnecessary and no longer used. specifically whales have vestigial pelvis bones and as you know they dont walk as for my body the appendix is also a good example it kinda just sits there waiting to become infected. 3. embryos from separate organisms in very early stages look VERY alike and can be incredibly difficult to tell them apart from one another. 4. Everyone's favorite dioxy ribonucleic acid or DNA can show ancestry they do this by being similar like my DNA isnt exactly the same as my mothers however there are more then enough similarities in our DNA to tell that we are related. This works for any and all animals as long as they have salvageable DNA so dinosaurs dont count. using DNA we can also tell that I'm more closely related to a dolphin than a shark and I'm more closely related to sharks than sponges. hope I answered what you were looking for thoroughly
