OBS

Le caractère semi-conservatif de la réplication [de l'] ADN autorise la reconstitution des généalogies des molécules [d'] ADN. Celles-ci peuvent être retracées par l'analyse et la comparaison des séquences nucléotidiques ou plus modestement des polymorphismes génotypiques. [...] En comparant les différents domaines protéiques, on constate que les régions les mieux conservées, c'est-à-dire possédant le plus grand degré de similitude entre espèces très éloignées, sont celles qui ont un rôle fonctionnel bien défini.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

Secuencia idéntica o muy similar de nucleótidos o aminoácidos que se encuentra formando parte de varios genes o proteínas distintos, de la misma o de diferentes especies.
