There is a wide variety of evidence that supports the hypothesis that evolution has occurred. Describe various types of evidence that support the evolution hypothesis and, where appropriate, develop the rationale of the associated arguments.
Cells contain an amazing array of types of protein activities.
Transcription factors are especially powerful in that they allow a cell to change its biochemical phenotype. Describe in detail the function of a transcription factor and how it can change the biochemistry of a cell. Then, using the putative transcription factor manx as an example, discuss how transcriptions factors might establish a developmental pattern for the entire organism. The discovery of DNA microsatellites has affected many areas of biology. The essence of speciation is the evolution of genetically-based barriers to reproduction between previously interbreeding groups.
