Document Summary
> organisms produce more offspring than survive to reproduce: one of the strongest cultural systems in language, which shows clear signs of evolutionary change, a change in dna might be beneficial but is usually harmful. Often, though, it won"t make a blind bit of difference. Living things fall into three major divisions: bacteria, archaea and eukarya. Archae: although single-celled and lacking a nucleus, genetic comparisons suggest they are more. Closely related to eukaryotes than to bacteria. Hox genes: these are master control" genes that coordinate the activity of many other genes. No sweet tooth: cats are indifferent to sweet things because they cannot taste sugar- a gene coding for part of the sugar receptor is pseudogene. People were shorter than they are now. We do seem to be getting taller but that"s due to better diet rather than any evolutionary change. Mixing pots: virus genomes can also swap bits of their genome with one another.
