Question : HGT could have played a major role in evolution of life on earth. |
| Answer» Solution :In eukaryotic genes, the expressed sequences are called exons are intervening non-coding sequences are called introns. Introns or mobile DNA SEQUENCE can splice themselves out of, as well as into SPECIFIC .target sites. ACTING like mobile transposon-like elements (mediating transfer of genes between organisms). Such transfer is called as HGT- Horizontal Gene Transfer. This COULD have occurred between different lineages of cells and played a major role in the evolution of life on earth. | |
