Chapter 23.4, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The key elements of the in-vitro evolution and the study of elements that correspond to the natural evolutionary processes.
Introduction:
In-vitro evolution is the process of studying the relationships among the macromolecules by their proper selection, evolution, and functions in a controlled laboratory environment. This can help the biologists to produce new molecules and their functions.

How did Darwin explain these similarities and differences? 3) Unique species of animals found on isolated islands are not randomly different from their mainland “cousins,” they are especially and uniquely adapted for island life.
