Summary Introduction

To review:

The way, in which protein function can be studied through the evolution of the gene. Also, give an example of the same.

Introduction:

Gene evolution is the process by which genes of the species change in sequence or size in the long period of time. There are many types of evolution like gene duplication, polyploids, and the structure of genes. The process of phylogenetic tree of species is used to identify the different genes and using them to construct its evolution.

What is Molecular evolution?
In Avery et al.’s experiments, they used a general proteinase that can break down many types of protein, rather than a protein-degrading enzyme that broke down only one type of protein. Why was this still not sufficient to show that protein was not the genetic material?
