This document provides an overview of key concepts from Chapter 21 of Campbell Biology about genomes and their evolution. It discusses the stages of genome sequencing, including genetic mapping, physical mapping, and DNA sequencing. It also describes how new sequencing techniques like whole-genome shotgun sequencing have accelerated the process. Bioinformatics tools are now used to analyze whole genomes and understand gene functions on a systems level. Comparisons of complete genome sequences from different organisms reveal variation in genome size, number of genes, and amount of noncoding DNA between domains of life.

LECTURE PRESENTATIONS For CAMPBELL BIOLOGY, NINTH EDITION Jane B. Reece, Lisa A. Urry, Michael L. Cain, Steven A. Wasserman, Peter V. Minorsky, Robert B. Jackson © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Lectures by Erin Barley Kathleen Fitzpatrick Genomes and Their Evolution Chapter 21
Overview: Reading the Leaves from the Tree of Life • Complete genome sequences exist for a human, chimpanzee, E. coli, brewer’s yeast, corn, fruit fly, house mouse, rhesus macaque, and other organisms • Comparisons of genomes among organisms provide information about the evolutionary history of genes and taxonomic groups © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Genomics is the study of whole sets of genes and their interactions • Bioinformatics is the application of computational methods to the storage and analysis of biological data © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 21.1
Concept 21.1: New approaches have accelerated the pace of genome sequencing • The most ambitious mapping project to date has been the sequencing of the human genome • Officially begun as the Human Genome Project in 1990, the sequencing was largely completed by 2003 • The project had three stages – Genetic (or linkage) mapping – Physical mapping – DNA sequencing © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Three-Stage Approach to Genome Sequencing • A linkage map (genetic map) maps the location of several thousand genetic markers on each chromosome • A genetic marker is a gene or other identifiable DNA sequence • Recombination frequencies are used to determine the order and relative distances between genetic markers © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 21.2-4 Cytogenetic map Genes located by FISH Chromosome bands Linkage mapping Genetic markers 1 Physical mapping2 Overlapping fragments DNA sequencing3
• A physical map expresses the distance between genetic markers, usually as the number of base pairs along the DNA • It is constructed by cutting a DNA molecule into many short fragments and arranging them in order by identifying overlaps © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Sequencing machines are used to determine the complete nucleotide sequence of each chromosome • A complete haploid set of human chromosomes consists of 3.2 billion base pairs © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Whole-Genome Shotgun Approach to Genome Sequencing • The whole-genome shotgun approach was developed by J. Craig Venter in 1992 • This approach skips genetic and physical mapping and sequences random DNA fragments directly • Powerful computer programs are used to order fragments into a continuous sequence © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Cut the DNA into overlapping frag- ments short enough for sequencing. 1 Clone the fragments in plasmid or phage vectors. 2 Figure 21.3-1
Cut the DNA into overlapping frag- ments short enough for sequencing. 1 Clone the fragments in plasmid or phage vectors. 2 Sequence each fragment. 3 Figure 21.3-2
Cut the DNA into overlapping frag- ments short enough for sequencing. 1 Clone the fragments in plasmid or phage vectors. 2 Sequence each fragment. 3 Order the sequences into one overall sequence with computer software. 4 Figure 21.3-3
• Both the three-stage process and the whole- genome shotgun approach were used for the Human Genome Project and for genome sequencing of other organisms • At first many scientists were skeptical about the whole-genome shotgun approach, but it is now widely used as the sequencing method of choice • The development of newer sequencing techniques has resulted in massive increases in speed and decreases in cost © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Technological advances have also facilitated metagenomics, in which DNA from a group of species (a metagenome) is collected from an environmental sample and sequenced • This technique has been used on microbial communities, allowing the sequencing of DNA of mixed populations, and eliminating the need to culture species in the lab © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Concept 21.2 Scientists use bioinformatics to analyze genomes and their functions • The Human Genome Project established databases and refined analytical software to make data available on the Internet • This has accelerated progress in DNA sequence analysis © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Centralized Resources for Analyzing Genome Sequences • Bioinformatics resources are provided by a number of sources – National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) created the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) – European Molecular Biology Laboratory – DNA Data Bank of Japan – BGI in Shenzhen, China © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Genbank, the NCBI database of sequences, doubles its data approximately every 18 months • Software is available that allows online visitors to search Genbank for matches to – A specific DNA sequence – A predicted protein sequence – Common stretches of amino acids in a protein • The NCBI website also provides 3-D views of all protein structures that have been determined © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 21.4
Identifying Protein-Coding Genes and Understanding Their Functions • Using available DNA sequences, geneticists can study genes directly in an approach called reverse genetics • The identification of protein coding genes within DNA sequences in a database is called gene annotation © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Gene annotation is largely an automated process • Comparison of sequences of previously unknown genes with those of known genes in other species may help provide clues about their function © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Understanding Genes and Gene Expression at the Systems Level • Proteomics is the systematic study of all proteins encoded by a genome • Proteins, not genes, carry out most of the activities of the cell © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
How Systems Are Studied: An Example • A systems biology approach can be applied to define gene circuits and protein interaction networks • Researchers working on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae used sophisticated techniques to disable pairs of genes one pair at a time, creating double mutants • Computer software then mapped genes to produce a network-like “functional map” of their interactions • The systems biology approach is possible because of advances in bioinformatics © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Application of Systems Biology to Medicine • A systems biology approach has several medical applications – The Cancer Genome Atlas project is currently seeking all the common mutations in three types of cancer by comparing gene sequences and expression in cancer versus normal cells – This has been so fruitful, it will be extended to ten other common cancers – Silicon and glass “chips” have been produced that hold a microarray of most known human genes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 21.6
Concept 21.3 Genomes vary in size, number of genes, and gene density • By early 2010, over 1,200 genomes were completely sequenced, including 1,000 bacteria, 80 archaea, and 124 eukaryotes • Sequencing of over 5,500 genomes and over 200 metagenomes is currently in progress © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Genome Size • Genomes of most bacteria and archaea range from 1 to 6 million base pairs (Mb); genomes of eukaryotes are usually larger • Most plants and animals have genomes greater than 100 Mb; humans have 3,000 Mb • Within each domain there is no systematic relationship between genome size and phenotype © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Table 21.1
Number of Genes • Free-living bacteria and archaea have 1,500 to 7,500 genes • Unicellular fungi have from about 5,000 genes and multicellular eukaryotes up to at least 40,000 genes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Number of genes is not correlated to genome size • For example, it is estimated that the nematode C. elegans has 100 Mb and 20,000 genes, while Drosophila has 165 Mb and 13,700 genes • Vertebrate genomes can produce more than one polypeptide per gene because of alternative splicing of RNA transcripts © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Gene Density and Noncoding DNA • Humans and other mammals have the lowest gene density, or number of genes, in a given length of DNA • Multicellular eukaryotes have many introns within genes and noncoding DNA between genes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Concept 21.4: Multicellular eukaryotes have much noncoding DNA and many multigene families • The bulk of most eukaryotic genomes neither encodes proteins nor functional RNAs • Much evidence indicates that noncoding DNA (previously called “junk DNA”) plays important roles in the cell • For example, genomes of humans, rats, and mice show high sequence conservation for about 500 noncoding regions © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Sequencing of the human genome reveals that 98.5% does not code for proteins, rRNAs, or tRNAs • About a quarter of the human genome codes for introns and gene-related regulatory sequences © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Intergenic DNA is noncoding DNA found between genes – Pseudogenes are former genes that have accumulated mutations and are nonfunctional – Repetitive DNA is present in multiple copies in the genome • About three-fourths of repetitive DNA is made up of transposable elements and sequences related to them © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Transposable Elements and Related Sequences • The first evidence for mobile DNA segments came from geneticist Barbara McClintock’s breeding experiments with Indian corn • McClintock identified changes in the color of corn kernels that made sense only by postulating that some genetic elements move from other genome locations into the genes for kernel color • These transposable elements move from one site to another in a cell’s DNA; they are present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Movement of Transposons and Retrotransposons • Eukaryotic transposable elements are of two types – Transposons, which move by means of a DNA intermediate – Retrotransposons, which move by means of an RNA intermediate © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 21.9 Transposon Transposon is copied DNA of genome Mobile transposon Insertion New copy of transposon
Figure 21.10 Retrotransposon New copy of retrotransposon Insertion Reverse transcriptase RNA Formation of a single-stranded RNA intermediate
Sequences Related to Transposable Elements • Multiple copies of transposable elements and related sequences are scattered throughout the eukaryotic genome • In primates, a large portion of transposable element–related DNA consists of a family of similar sequences called Alu elements • Many Alu elements are transcribed into RNA molecules; however their function, if any, is unknown © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• The human genome also contains many sequences of a type of retrotransposon called LINE-1 (L1) • L1 sequences have a low rate of transposition and may help regulate gene expression © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Other Repetitive DNA, Including Simple Sequence DNA • About 15% of the human genome consists of duplication of long sequences of DNA from one location to another • In contrast, simple sequence DNA contains many copies of tandemly repeated short sequences © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• A series of repeating units of 2 to 5 nucleotides is called a short tandem repeat (STR) • The repeat number for STRs can vary among sites (within a genome) or individuals • Simple sequence DNA is common in centromeres and telomeres, where it probably plays structural roles in the chromosome © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Genes and Multigene Families • Many eukaryotic genes are present in one copy per haploid set of chromosomes • The rest of the genes occur in multigene families, collections of identical or very similar genes • Some multigene families consist of identical DNA sequences, usually clustered tandemly, such as those that code for rRNA products © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Concept 21.5: Duplication, rearrangement, and mutation of DNA contribute to genome evolution • The basis of change at the genomic level is mutation, which underlies much of genome evolution • The earliest forms of life likely had a minimal number of genes, including only those necessary for survival and reproduction • The size of genomes has increased over evolutionary time, with the extra genetic material providing raw material for gene diversification © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Duplication of Entire Chromosome Sets • Accidents in meiosis can lead to one or more extra sets of chromosomes, a condition known as polyploidy • The genes in one or more of the extra sets can diverge by accumulating mutations; these variations may persist if the organism carrying them survives and reproduces © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Alterations of Chromosome Structure • Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, while chimpanzees have 24 pairs • Following the divergence of humans and chimpanzees from a common ancestor, two ancestral chromosomes fused in the human line • Duplications and inversions result from mistakes during meiotic recombination • Comparative analysis between chromosomes of humans and seven mammalian species paints a hypothetical chromosomal evolutionary history © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

• The rate of duplications and inversions seems to have accelerated about 100 million years ago • This coincides with when large dinosaurs went extinct and mammals diversified • Chromosomal rearrangements are thought to contribute to the generation of new species • Some of the recombination “hot spots” associated with chromosomal rearrangement are also locations that are associated with diseases © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Duplication and Divergence of Gene-Sized Regions of DNA • Unequal crossing over during prophase I of meiosis can result in one chromosome with a deletion and another with a duplication of a particular region • Transposable elements can provide sites for crossover between nonsister chromatids © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Nonsister chromatids Gene Transposable element Crossover point and Incorrect pairing of two homologs during meiosis Figure 21.13
Evolution of Genes with Related Functions: The Human Globin Genes • The genes encoding the various globin proteins evolved from one common ancestral globin gene, which duplicated and diverged about 450–500 million years ago • After the duplication events, differences between the genes in the globin family arose from the accumulation of mutations © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

• Subsequent duplications of these genes and random mutations gave rise to the present globin genes, which code for oxygen-binding proteins • The similarity in the amino acid sequences of the various globin proteins supports this model of gene duplication and mutation © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Table 21.2
Evolution of Genes with Novel Functions • The copies of some duplicated genes have diverged so much in evolution that the functions of their encoded proteins are now very different • For example the lysozyme gene was duplicated and evolved into the gene that encodes α-lactalbumin in mammals • Lysozyme is an enzyme that helps protect animals against bacterial infection • α-lactalbumin is a nonenzymatic protein that plays a role in milk production in mammals © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Rearrangements of Parts of Genes: Exon Duplication and Exon Shuffling • The duplication or repositioning of exons has contributed to genome evolution • Errors in meiosis can result in an exon being duplicated on one chromosome and deleted from the homologous chromosome • In exon shuffling, errors in meiotic recombination lead to some mixing and matching of exons, either within a gene or between two nonallelic genes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

How Transposable Elements Contribute to Genome Evolution • Multiple copies of similar transposable elements may facilitate recombination, or crossing over, between different chromosomes • Insertion of transposable elements within a protein-coding sequence may block protein production • Insertion of transposable elements within a regulatory sequence may increase or decrease protein production © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Transposable elements may carry a gene or groups of genes to a new position • Transposable elements may also create new sites for alternative splicing in an RNA transcript • In all cases, changes are usually detrimental but may on occasion prove advantageous to an organism © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Concept 21.6: Comparing genome sequences provides clues to evolution and development • Genome sequencing and data collection has advanced rapidly in the last 25 years • Comparative studies of genomes – Advance our understanding of the evolutionary history of life – Help explain how the evolution of development leads to morphological diversity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Comparing Genomes • Genome comparisons of closely related species help us understand recent evolutionary events • Genome comparisons of distantly related species help us understand ancient evolutionary events • Relationships among species can be represented by a tree-shaped diagram © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Most recent common ancestor of all living things Bacteria Eukarya Archaea Chimpanzee Human Mouse Millions of years ago Billions of years ago 4 3 2 010203040506070 01 Figure 21.16
Comparing Distantly Related Species • Highly conserved genes have changed very little over time • These help clarify relationships among species that diverged from each other long ago • Bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes diverged from each other between 2 and 4 billion years ago • Highly conserved genes can be studied in one model organism, and the results applied to other organisms © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Comparing Closely Related Species • Genetic differences between closely related species can be correlated with phenotypic differences • For example, genetic comparison of several mammals with nonmammals helps identify what it takes to make a mammal © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Human and chimpanzee genomes differ by 1.2%, at single base-pairs, and by 2.7% because of insertions and deletions • Several genes are evolving faster in humans than chimpanzees • These include genes involved in defense against malaria and tuberculosis and in regulation of brain size, and genes that code for transcription factors © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Humans and chimpanzees differ in the expression of the FOXP2 gene, whose product turns on genes involved in vocalization • Differences in the FOXP2 gene may explain why humans but not chimpanzees communicate by speech © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
EXPERIMENT Wild type: two normal copies of FOXP2 RESULTS Heterozygote: one copy of FOXP2 disrupted Homozygote: both copies of FOXP2 disrupted Experiment 1: Researchers cut thin sections of brain and stained them with reagents that allow visualization of brain anatomy in a UV fluorescence microscope.

Comparing Genomes Within a Species • As a species, humans have only been around about 200,000 years and have low within-species genetic variation • Variation within humans is due to single nucleotide polymorphisms, inversions, deletions, and duplications • Most surprising is the large number of copy- number variants • These variations are useful for studying human evolution and human health © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Comparing Developmental Processes • Evolutionary developmental biology, or evo-devo, is the study of the evolution of developmental processes in multicellular organisms • Genomic information shows that minor differences in gene sequence or regulation can result in striking differences in form © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Widespread Conservation of Developmental Genes Among Animals • Molecular analysis of the homeotic genes in Drosophila has shown that they all include a sequence called a homeobox • An identical or very similar nucleotide sequence has been discovered in the homeotic genes of both vertebrates and invertebrates • Homeobox genes code for a domain that allows a protein to bind to DNA and to function as a transcription regulator • Homeotic genes in animals are called Hox genes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

• Related homeobox sequences have been found in regulatory genes of yeasts, plants, and even prokaryotes • In addition to homeotic genes, many other developmental genes are highly conserved from species to species © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Sometimes small changes in regulatory sequences of certain genes lead to major changes in body form • For example, variation in Hox gene expression controls variation in leg-bearing segments of crustaceans and insects • In other cases, genes with conserved sequences play different roles in different species © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 21.19 Thorax Abdomen Genital segments Thorax Abdomen
Comparison of Animal and Plant Development • In both plants and animals, development relies on a cascade of transcriptional regulators turning genes on or off in a finely tuned series • Molecular evidence supports the separate evolution of developmental programs in plants and animals • Mads-box genes in plants are the regulatory equivalent of Hox genes in animals © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    • Both thethree-stage process and the whole- genome shotgun approach were used for the Human Genome Project and for genome sequencing of other organisms • At first many scientists were skeptical about the whole-genome shotgun approach, but it is now widely used as the sequencing method of choice • The development of newer sequencing techniques has resulted in massive increases in speed and decreases in cost © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 18.
    • Technological advanceshave also facilitated metagenomics, in which DNA from a group of species (a metagenome) is collected from an environmental sample and sequenced • This technique has been used on microbial communities, allowing the sequencing of DNA of mixed populations, and eliminating the need to culture species in the lab © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Concept 21.3 Genomesvary in size, number of genes, and gene density • By early 2010, over 1,200 genomes were completely sequenced, including 1,000 bacteria, 80 archaea, and 124 eukaryotes • Sequencing of over 5,500 genomes and over 200 metagenomes is currently in progress © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 33.
    Genome Size • Genomesof most bacteria and archaea range from 1 to 6 million base pairs (Mb); genomes of eukaryotes are usually larger • Most plants and animals have genomes greater than 100 Mb; humans have 3,000 Mb • Within each domain there is no systematic relationship between genome size and phenotype © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Gene Density andNoncoding DNA • Humans and other mammals have the lowest gene density, or number of genes, in a given length of DNA • Multicellular eukaryotes have many introns within genes and noncoding DNA between genes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 38.
    Concept 21.4: Multicellulareukaryotes have much noncoding DNA and many multigene families • The bulk of most eukaryotic genomes neither encodes proteins nor functional RNAs • Much evidence indicates that noncoding DNA (previously called “junk DNA”) plays important roles in the cell • For example, genomes of humans, rats, and mice show high sequence conservation for about 500 noncoding regions © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 39.
    • Sequencing ofthe human genome reveals that 98.5% does not code for proteins, rRNAs, or tRNAs • About a quarter of the human genome codes for introns and gene-related regulatory sequences © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

  • 42.
    Transposable Elements andRelated Sequences • The first evidence for mobile DNA segments came from geneticist Barbara McClintock’s breeding experiments with Indian corn • McClintock identified changes in the color of corn kernels that made sense only by postulating that some genetic elements move from other genome locations into the genes for kernel color • These transposable elements move from one site to another in a cell’s DNA; they are present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Sequences Related toTransposable Elements • Multiple copies of transposable elements and related sequences are scattered throughout the eukaryotic genome • In primates, a large portion of transposable element–related DNA consists of a family of similar sequences called Alu elements • Many Alu elements are transcribed into RNA molecules; however their function, if any, is unknown © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 50.
    • The humangenome also contains many sequences of a type of retrotransposon called LINE-1 (L1) • L1 sequences have a low rate of transposition and may help regulate gene expression © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 51.
    Other Repetitive DNA,Including Simple Sequence DNA • About 15% of the human genome consists of duplication of long sequences of DNA from one location to another • In contrast, simple sequence DNA contains many copies of tandemly repeated short sequences © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 52.
    • A seriesof repeating units of 2 to 5 nucleotides is called a short tandem repeat (STR) • The repeat number for STRs can vary among sites (within a genome) or individuals • Simple sequence DNA is common in centromeres and telomeres, where it probably plays structural roles in the chromosome © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 53.
    Genes and MultigeneFamilies • Many eukaryotic genes are present in one copy per haploid set of chromosomes • The rest of the genes occur in multigene families, collections of identical or very similar genes • Some multigene families consist of identical DNA sequences, usually clustered tandemly, such as those that code for rRNA products © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Concept 21.5: Duplication, rearrangement,and mutation of DNA contribute to genome evolution • The basis of change at the genomic level is mutation, which underlies much of genome evolution • The earliest forms of life likely had a minimal number of genes, including only those necessary for survival and reproduction • The size of genomes has increased over evolutionary time, with the extra genetic material providing raw material for gene diversification © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 60.
    Duplication of EntireChromosome Sets • Accidents in meiosis can lead to one or more extra sets of chromosomes, a condition known as polyploidy • The genes in one or more of the extra sets can diverge by accumulating mutations; these variations may persist if the organism carrying them survives and reproduces © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 61.
    Alterations of ChromosomeStructure • Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, while chimpanzees have 24 pairs • Following the divergence of humans and chimpanzees from a common ancestor, two ancestral chromosomes fused in the human line • Duplications and inversions result from mistakes during meiotic recombination • Comparative analysis between chromosomes of humans and seven mammalian species paints a hypothetical chromosomal evolutionary history © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    • The rateof duplications and inversions seems to have accelerated about 100 million years ago • This coincides with when large dinosaurs went extinct and mammals diversified • Chromosomal rearrangements are thought to contribute to the generation of new species • Some of the recombination “hot spots” associated with chromosomal rearrangement are also locations that are associated with diseases © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 66.
    Duplication and Divergenceof Gene-Sized Regions of DNA • Unequal crossing over during prophase I of meiosis can result in one chromosome with a deletion and another with a duplication of a particular region • Transposable elements can provide sites for crossover between nonsister chromatids © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 67.
  • 68.
    Evolution of Geneswith Related Functions: The Human Globin Genes • The genes encoding the various globin proteins evolved from one common ancestral globin gene, which duplicated and diverged about 450–500 million years ago • After the duplication events, differences between the genes in the globin family arose from the accumulation of mutations © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    • Subsequent duplicationsof these genes and random mutations gave rise to the present globin genes, which code for oxygen-binding proteins • The similarity in the amino acid sequences of the various globin proteins supports this model of gene duplication and mutation © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 71.
  • 72.
    Evolution of Geneswith Novel Functions • The copies of some duplicated genes have diverged so much in evolution that the functions of their encoded proteins are now very different • For example the lysozyme gene was duplicated and evolved into the gene that encodes α-lactalbumin in mammals • Lysozyme is an enzyme that helps protect animals against bacterial infection • α-lactalbumin is a nonenzymatic protein that plays a role in milk production in mammals © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 73.
    Rearrangements of Partsof Genes: Exon Duplication and Exon Shuffling • The duplication or repositioning of exons has contributed to genome evolution • Errors in meiosis can result in an exon being duplicated on one chromosome and deleted from the homologous chromosome • In exon shuffling, errors in meiotic recombination lead to some mixing and matching of exons, either within a gene or between two nonallelic genes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    How Transposable ElementsContribute to Genome Evolution • Multiple copies of similar transposable elements may facilitate recombination, or crossing over, between different chromosomes • Insertion of transposable elements within a protein-coding sequence may block protein production • Insertion of transposable elements within a regulatory sequence may increase or decrease protein production © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 76.
    • Transposable elementsmay carry a gene or groups of genes to a new position • Transposable elements may also create new sites for alternative splicing in an RNA transcript • In all cases, changes are usually detrimental but may on occasion prove advantageous to an organism © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 77.
    Concept 21.6: Comparinggenome sequences provides clues to evolution and development • Genome sequencing and data collection has advanced rapidly in the last 25 years • Comparative studies of genomes – Advance our understanding of the evolutionary history of life – Help explain how the evolution of development leads to morphological diversity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Comparing Distantly RelatedSpecies • Highly conserved genes have changed very little over time • These help clarify relationships among species that diverged from each other long ago • Bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes diverged from each other between 2 and 4 billion years ago • Highly conserved genes can be studied in one model organism, and the results applied to other organisms © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 81.
    Comparing Closely RelatedSpecies • Genetic differences between closely related species can be correlated with phenotypic differences • For example, genetic comparison of several mammals with nonmammals helps identify what it takes to make a mammal © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 82.
    • Human andchimpanzee genomes differ by 1.2%, at single base-pairs, and by 2.7% because of insertions and deletions • Several genes are evolving faster in humans than chimpanzees • These include genes involved in defense against malaria and tuberculosis and in regulation of brain size, and genes that code for transcription factors © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Comparing Genomes Withina Species • As a species, humans have only been around about 200,000 years and have low within-species genetic variation • Variation within humans is due to single nucleotide polymorphisms, inversions, deletions, and duplications • Most surprising is the large number of copy- number variants • These variations are useful for studying human evolution and human health © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Comparing Developmental Processes •Evolutionary developmental biology, or evo-devo, is the study of the evolution of developmental processes in multicellular organisms • Genomic information shows that minor differences in gene sequence or regulation can result in striking differences in form © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Widespread Conservation ofDevelopmental Genes Among Animals • Molecular analysis of the homeotic genes in Drosophila has shown that they all include a sequence called a homeobox • An identical or very similar nucleotide sequence has been discovered in the homeotic genes of both vertebrates and invertebrates • Homeobox genes code for a domain that allows a protein to bind to DNA and to function as a transcription regulator • Homeotic genes in animals are called Hox genes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    • Related homeoboxsequences have been found in regulatory genes of yeasts, plants, and even prokaryotes • In addition to homeotic genes, many other developmental genes are highly conserved from species to species © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    • Sometimes smallchanges in regulatory sequences of certain genes lead to major changes in body form • For example, variation in Hox gene expression controls variation in leg-bearing segments of crustaceans and insects • In other cases, genes with conserved sequences play different roles in different species © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Comparison of Animaland Plant Development • In both plants and animals, development relies on a cascade of transcriptional regulators turning genes on or off in a finely tuned series • Molecular evidence supports the separate evolution of developmental programs in plants and animals • Mads-box genes in plants are the regulatory equivalent of Hox genes in animals © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
