Explain how protein synthesis mutation and meiosis are funda

Explain how protein synthesis, mutation, and meiosis are fundamental to the process of evolution.

Solution

Translation

A mutation within the DNA bases results in an alteration of the RNA transcripts, which in turn leads to production of different form of protein which can lead to a direct difference in phenotype. eg. evolution of cytochrome C and haemoglobin

Mutation

Mutation is direct key regulator of Evolution not all mutation are important for evolution. Somatic mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and won\'t be passed onto offspring whereas mutation in genetic cells like eggs and sperm called germ line mutations matter to large-scale evolution and passed on to offspring.

Meiosis

a diploid organism produces haploid cells for purposes of reproduction. Those haploid cells (called gametes) can combine with the haploid cells of other individuals to make a new diploid individual. Some individuals may have some new genetic combinations that produce some small improvement. So meiosis (because it enable sexual reproduction) made evolution of large organisms faster.
