(b) This figure emphasizes a single gene within an ancestral organism. During evolution, the ancestral organism diverged into many different species, including E. coli and K. pneumoniae. After this divergence, the lacY gene in the two species accumulated mutations, yielding lacY genes with somewhat different sequences. Genes-Traits After two species diverge evolutionarily, their genes accumulate different random mutations. This example concerns the lacY gene, which en- codes lactose permease. In both species, the function of lactose permease is to transport lactose into the cell. The lacY gene in these two species has ac- cumulated different mutations that alter the amino acid sequence of the pro- tein. Researchers have determined that these two species transport lactose at significantly different rates.
