Document Summary
Answers to these big questions of life being special creation. Humans have been selectively breeding organisms for 10s of thousands of years. The variations that have existed between the original ancestor of all of these kinds have been exaggerated through selective breeding. Example of how phenotypes are consistently changing along with breeding patterns even in recent times. Can look at their genetics and see better how evolution is happening. Tandem repeat loci (t. r. l)=little bits of dna that can be repeated over and over. ie. cggat --> this section can be repeated several times. The number of times it"s repeated is common to alot of related organisms. Humans have a certain amount of tandem repeat loci of their dna and generally the same number of repeats are present in each human. Phenotype of bull terrier has changed quite alot due to selective breeding and dog breeders picking out particular characteristics.
