Document Summary
Atp contains energy in covalent chemical bonds of phosphate (where energy is contained) Many organisms have genes in common since they have to do the same processes. The human genome is 3 billion base pairs long. Nucleoides are genes, this is the code for protein and determine amino acid sequence of protein. If you compare two organisms their genome is usually diferent (humans will have 0. 1% diference from one another) Geneic diferences in a populaion is important in a biological evoluion. The theory of evoluion is the cornerstone of modern scieniic understanding of life. Individuals don"t evolve, the populaion evolves due to environmental changes. Evoluion operates at two diferent scales in populaions: microscales and macroscales. Macroevoluion results in two disinct species, over a longer period of ime (ex. Two species of squirrels difereniated because of geographic isolaion, this was over a very long period of ime) Concept of biological evoluion originally proposed by darwin.
