Only after the mechanism of heredity was understood and only after the science of genetics was integrated with natural history was the debate over the mechanism of natural selection extinguished. This took place between 1920 and 1950 and was part of the event called the "evolutionary synthesis." ...
In this study, we investigate how an organism’s codon usage bias can serve as a predictor and classifier of various genomic and evolutionary traits across the domains of life. We perform secondary analysis of existing genetic datasets to build several AI/machine learning models. When trained on...

An overview of the evolution of life as a major characteristic of Earth’s history is given in community ecology: Evolution of the biosphere. A detailed discussion of the life and thought of Charles Darwin is found in the article Darwin, Charles. Britannica Quiz Biology Bonanza General ...
The evolutionary history of life on Earth traces the processes by which living and fossil organisms evolved. It stretches from the origin of life on Earth, thought to be over 3,500 million years ago, to the present day. The similarities between all present day organisms indicate the presence ...
Evolutionary game theory mathematically conceptualizes and analyzes biological interactions where one’s fitness not only depends on one’s own t
The key insight of evolutionary game theory is that many behaviors involve the interaction of multiple organisms in a population, and the success of any one of these organisms depends on how its behavior interacts with that of others. Therefore, the fitness of an individual organism cannot be ...
. The presence of betaine lipids is not linked to the synthesis of betaine, a soluble compound present in almost every organism including most animals, plants, and microorganisms, acting as a protectant against osmotic stress [22]. All these studies were accomplished before the amendment of the ...
Although homologous protein sequences are expected to adopt similar structures, some amino acid substitutions can interconvert α-helices and β-sheets. Such fold switching may have occurred over evolutionary history, but supporting evidence has been lim
Fitness is the measure of the degree of adaptation of an organism to its environment; the bigger the fitness is, the more the organism is fit and adapted to the environment. In general, evolutionary algorithms focus only on a subset of mechanisms defined over the biological evolutionary process...
