Genomic Sequencing & Evolution
(a) Genomic sequencing — the sequence of nucleotide bases can be determined for individual genes and entire genomes. To compare sequence data, computer and statistical analyses (bioinformatics) are required.
(b) Evidence from phylogenetics and molecular clocks to determine the main sequence of events in evolution: last universal ancestor, prokaryotes, photosynthesis, eukaryotes, multicellular organisms. The sequence of events can be determined using sequence data and fossil evidence. Comparison of sequences provides evidence of the three domains (bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes).
