Chapter 7, Problem 4TMW
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason behind more difficult to trace the genetic ancestry of microbes than the ancestry of animals.
Concept introduction:
The evolution is the process of the change of the characteristic features along with the genes over the consecutive generations. The evolution has resulted in the diversification of the species all over the world.
