Well there are two types well known to support this theory:
1. Molecular evidence: similar proteins and genes found in closely related species, even if those genes are not used by an organism.
2. Fossil evidence: organisms changing form over time through the fossil record.
I think this info can help you a lot

Answer:

There are many types of evidence which support the theory of evolution such as comparative anatomy, fossil records, phylogenetic relationship, embryology et cetera

Comparative anatomy includes homologous organs and analogous organs. They support divergent and convergent evolution respectively.  

For example, the homologous structure of limb of humans, birds, bat, horse, whale et cetera show that they are made up of the same set of bones which are humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.  

It shows divergent evolution and supports that these organisms have evolved from a common ancestor.

Embryological evidence: When early stages of embryological development of different organisms are compared, it is found that these stages are similar at different levels of development.

For example:

  • The appearance of pharyngeal-arch (gill-like structures) in vertebrates during embryo development.
  • Salamanders and terrestrial frogs pass through larval stages within an egg. They possess the features similar to aquatic larvae, however, when they hatched out the eggs being ready for life on land.

In general, glycine is a highly conserved amino acid in evolution. why should this amino acid be so important in a protein seque
dimaraw [331]

Glycine is the principle amino acid and it helps in the production of all types of amino acid.

Glycine is the simplest form of amino acid. all the amino acid is a derivative or a side chain addition of the amino acid of glycine.

Glycine is a highly conserved amino acid in the evolution of proteins as it is the smallest amino acid with H as a side chain. Because of the smallest side chain, it makes peptide to have tight turns. Because of Glycine smallest size proteins can approach one another very closely.

Various studies have been conducted to prove that glycine is a conserved amino acid. An experiment is conducted where glycine in a protein is being replaced by other amino acids say alanine, serine. This mutated protein where either serine or alanine took the position of Glycine, become unstable as confirmation was not stable in any variant. Conserved amino acids or sequences are those which affect the confirmation of the protein.

Glycine is only optically inactive amino acid and being the compact amino acid, it form stable alpha helices whereas complex amino acid like proline destabilize the helix.

Hence it is a highly conserved amino acid. Proteins are the addition of different types of amino acid. The amino acid at the edition product of different side chain which are present in glycine.  all amino acids are modification of glycine and can be prepared from glycine.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The air can be considered polluted once harmful or toxic substances are being released and introduced into the air and can bring many types of diseases or health problems to the living organisms in it. Some actions can be done in order to remedy air pollution and these include: government passing regulatory laws, testing for car emissions and carpooling so there will be less driving.
