Convergent evolution is the process by which unrelated or distantly related organisms evolve similar adaptations. Organisms displaying these similarities usually live in similar environments, and the force driving convergence is natural selection. Similar environments pose similar challenges to survival, and ...
Fig. 4.Convergent evolution of interfaces. Baculovirus protein p53 (red) mimics binding motif of the human inhibitor of apoptosis (blue). Both structures are aligned using their common partner, the catalytic domain of caspase (not shown). Interface residues are shown in balls and sticks. The ar...
Evolutionis defined as a change in species over time. There are many processes that can occur to drive evolution includingCharles Darwin'sproposed idea ofnatural selectionand the human-createdartificial selectionand selective breeding. Some processes produce much quicker results than others, but all le...
Convergent eusocial evolution is based on a shared reproductive groundplan plus lineage-specific plastic genesEusociality has convergently evolved multiple times, but the genomic basis of caste-based division of labor and degree to which independent origins of eusociality have utilized common genes ...
convergent evolution[生]趋同进化 convergent同义词 adj. [数]收敛的;会聚性的;趋集于一点的 astrictive convergent词源中文解释 "趋向于相遇或实际相遇于一个点",1730年,来自 converge + -ent。生物学家在1890年左右开始使用 Convergent evolution(进化生物学中的 convergence 可以追溯到1866年)。
Germ cells Germ granules Germ plasm Nucleators Convergent evolution 1. Introduction Germ cells form an important subset of stem cells in metazoans, and are specified during embryogenesis either by the inheritance of a specialized cytoplasm, or via zygotic induction, i.e. extra-cellular signaling from...
Evolutionary convergence in distantly related species is among the most convincing evidence of adaptive evolution. The mammalian ear, responsible for balance and hearing, is not only characterised by its spectacular evolutionary incorporation of several bones of the jaw, it also varies considerably in sh...
