DNA analysis can be efficient to investigate evolutionary relationships between birds due to nucleotide sequences. In this context, pseudogenes are very important, as they are nucleotide sequences aimed at the evolutionary process and not at the expression of characteristics.
Why is DNA analysis important?
- DNA analysis allows the study of the nucleotide sequence, which allows the comparison between the DNA composition of two individuals.
- As the genetic code is universal, specific proteins that show the similarities between these sequences can be used.
- These similarities reveal the genetic and evolutionary relatedness of each species.
The more similarities in nucleotide sequences are identified between two birds, the more evolutionarily similar those birds are.
