How has molecular evidence affected our understanding of modern evolutionary theory?
It largely supports anatomical evidence and provides more detailed information for specific relationships
What are the sab-branches of evolutionary biology?
Molecular evolutionary biology, Population genetics, Genome studies of species, Fossil studies
What is one new line of evidence supporting evolution that scienists learned after Darwin's book was published?
One particularly powerful one is from molecular phylogenetics and virology - the evidence from endogenous retroviruses. See the links.
What are molecule clocks?
Molecular Clocks- are models that use mutation rates to measure evolutionary time.
How does evolutionary biology molecular biology influence classification?
Molecular evidence can prove or disprove some fylogenetic relations between organisms that were previously based on morphologic aspects or ecologic aspects.
Which system used to classify organisms has changed over time?
The system used to classify organisms that has changed over time is the taxonomic classification system. This system groups organisms based on their shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships. As scientific knowledge has advanced and new evidence has been discovered, the classification of certain organisms has been revised to better reflect their genetic, anatomical, and ecological relationships.
What does evolution biologist do?
Works on studies of genetics, phylogenetics, cladistics, evolutionary theory and experimentation, population genetics, systematics and molecular evolution, to name a few fields a evolutionary biologists works in.
What subset of DNA changes are analyzed by molecular biologists to determine evolutionary relationships?
Dna changes in important genes
How has molecular evidence affected our understanding of modern evolutionary theory?
It largely supports anatomical evidence and provides more detailed information for specific relationships
Which type of evidence for evolution is most accurate in determining evolutionary relationships-morphology or molecular?
You could never get any type of evidence to prove untrue things...
What is statistical bioinformatics?
Bioinformatics is the application of information technology to the field of molecular biology. The discipline has grown rapidly due to the application of probability theory to the study of genetics. A common application is the statistical similarities or differences among DNA samples, from animals (including humans) or plants. From the study of similarities, evolutionary models (or trees) relationships can be inferred. This is the area of phylogenetics. Per Wikipedia link: Over the past few decades rapid developments in genomic and other molecular research technologies and developments in information technologies have combined to produce a tremendous amount of information related to molecular biology. See related links.
What evidence do scientists use to make phylogenetic trees?
Phylogenetic trees represent hypotheses about the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms. A phylogenetic tree may be built using morphological (body shape), biochemical, behavioral, or molecular features of species or other groups.
What can lead scientist to change an evolutionary tree?
What can lead scientists to change an evolutionary tree?
What do molecular clocks use to measure evolutionary time?
mutation rates
What are the sab-branches of evolutionary biology?
Molecular evolutionary biology, Population genetics, Genome studies of species, Fossil studies
Evidence in evolution can be found in?
The fossil record, comparative anatomy, molecular genetic and molecular cell Biology, genetics, evolutionary development and evolutionary biology to name several disciplines with evidence for evolution and it's processes. Go here. talkorigins.org
