EVOLUTION WITHOUT GENES
Journal Title: International Journal of Genetics - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Nowadays genes are claimed to explain almost everything that is somehow or another connected with manifestations of the biological life on the Earth, including evolution. It is now clear, however, that major incongruities exist and that there is only a weak relationship between biological complexity and the number of protein coding genes. The genome can be divided into two main sections, the coding (genes) and non coding portions. Non coding DNAs have been considered as non-functional DNA by many authors. And to determine which of them is the most important in evolution based on the input of genes and non coding DNAs into the origin of the basic forms of life and its diversity. Information about non coding DNAs as the main evolving component of the genome is presented. It is supposed that evolution has not stopped on DNA, which is transcribed into RNA which in turn is translated into proteins.
