The antibiotic penicillin is isolated from <u><em>Penicillium notatum</em></u> fungi

Penicillin was first discovered in 1928 and was used at St. Mary's Hospital, London, by Alexander Fleming to heal wounds due to its antibacterial properties.

Explanation:

Fungi and bacteria usually produce antibiotics (as secondary metabolites) for defense mechanism. They do so to limit competition for resources with other neighboring fungi or bacteria in their environment.  This is why when a fungus or bacteria establishes itself in an environment, you hardly see other fungi or bacteria types growing in their vicinity.

Explain how the exon/intron structure of genes contributes to the generation of new gene functions during evolution.
Temka [501]

Answer:

The exons may be defined as the coding region of the RNA that codes for the particular amino acid. The introns are the non coding region of RNA and must be removed in the final RNA product.

Exon shuffling result in the formation of new gene. The alteration of the exon and intron structure leads to the new gene function in evolution. The genes that are favored and conserved in the evolution perform new gene function. The genes that are selected against are deleted during the evolution.
