Tubulin

...yotic cell division protein FtsZ was shown to be evolutionarily related to tubulin. Delta and epsilon tubulin have been found to localize at centrioles and may play a role in forming the mitotic spindle during mitosis. Pharmacology Tubulins are targets for anticancer drugs like taxol . The anti- gout a...

Speciation

...he isolated populations are then liable to diverge evolutionarily over many generations as a) they become subjected to dissimilar selective pressures and b) they independently undergo genetic drift ; particularly when one of the subpopulations is small (a scenario that leads to the " founder effect "). This ki...

Sociobiology

...morphology and behaviour must necessarily be an evolutionarily beneficial adaptation. Philosophical debates abo...d as a sociobiological hypothesis by finding an evolutionarily stable strategy that matches the observed behaviour. Stability can be difficult to prove, but usua...

Olfaction

...ner of non-similar immunological background may be evolutionarily advantageous because children born with a mixture of immunological systems are more likely to survive. It has been suggested that human females unconsciously use this process to recognize whom they find attractive. Smell is extremely important for ...

Mycology

...Botany (despite fungi not being plants and being evolutionarily more closely related to animals than plants). Pioneer mycologists were Elias Magnus Fries , Christian Hendrik Persoon , and Anton de Bary . Today, the most comprehensively studied and understood fungi are the yeasts and eukaryotic model ...

Lung

...ve structures called " book lungs ", which are not evolutionarily related to vertebrate lungs but serve a similar respiratory purpose. Nonrespiratory functions of the lungs In addition to respiratory functions such as gas exchange and regulation of hydrogen ion concentration , the lungs also: influence o...

Histone

... appears that the structure of histones have been evolutionarily conserved, as any deleterious mutations would be severely maladaptive. History Histones were discovered in 1884 by Albrecht Kossel . The word "histone" dates from the late 19th century and is from the German "Histon", of uncertain origin: pe...
