Evidences that support the theory of evolution;
1. COMPARATIVE ANATOMY;
This is done to compare the anatomy structures of organisms to check the adaptive changes they have undergone through time. The similarities and differences of different body structures of different organisms are checked.
Through, homologous structures where structures are similar in organisms that share the same ancestor. Example, wings of bat and wings of bird.
Through, analogous structures where structures are similar in function in different organisms. Example, fore limbs of man and monkey which are used for grabbing.
2. COMPARATIVE EMBRYOLOGY;
This is done to check embryo development in different organisms throughout time and check the similarities and differences in their development. Example, embryo of man and fish both have gills at embryo stage and in fish they develop but in man they disappear before birth.
3. FOSSILS RECORDS;
The study of fossils shows the evidence of evolution as scientists study the fossils and the development of organisms present, it displays the changes that have occured throughout the years and how other organisms share ancestors and have evolved.
4. MOLECULAR BIOLOGY;
The study of the genes of organisms to check the relationship between organisms and the changes they have undergone through time. Molecular similarities show shared ancestry of organisms. Example, human and chimpanzee share a common ancestor because they both have a gene that encodes insulin hormone.
Answer: Proteins are made using DNA as a template. The DNA is turned into RNA, and the RNA is then turned into DNA.
A change in these nucleotides could end up making some part of the protein different. A single nucleotide change could be silent (no change in the protein) or could change a single amino acid (amino acids are the building blocks of proteins). If that was an important amino acid, the protein might not function at all! A silent change can occur because the same set of nucleotides sometimes makes the same final amino acid (for example, reading "gcc" "gca" "gcg" or "gct" nucleotides all mean "alanine" amino acid).
The deletion of a single nucleotide, or the addition of one, can change the entire sequence of amino acids that come after it! Nucleotides are read in sets of three, so this throws off how the DNA is read. If would be like turning "The brown fox jumps over the dog" into "The gbrow nfo xjump sove rth edo g". Completely different! All of the words are thrown off.
I know it is long but I hope it helped
:D
Hello :)
I believe its during the 2nd trimester
Hope this helps :)
