BIOLOGY 3UU3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Cis-Regulatory Element, Regulatory Sequence, Gene Duplication
Document Summary
Evolution at two levels: on genes and form. Evolution at two levels in humans and chimpanzees : by king and wilson. They proposed that evolutionary changes in anatomy and the way of life are more based on changes in the mechanisms controlling the expression of genes than on sequence changes in proteins. 3 important aspects: contributed to comparative genomics, make inferences about the evolution of form (extrapolated from molecular data, the beginning of research pertaining to the genetic basis of the origins of human traits. King and wilson hypothesized that the evolution of both anatomy and ways of life was governed by regulatory changes in the expression of genes. Whereas sean carroll ( primary paper being studied) hypothesized there was a distinction between the evolution of anatomy and the evolution of physiology. Studies have shown that the evolution of coding sequences plays a key role in. Some (but not all) important physiological differences between species.
