Add this somewhere else...


could you further explain the eukaryotic paradox? it is not exactly clear here why it is a paradox and not an oddity. Drussey (talk) 00:15, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

This can be explained by the fact that the genome is inherited as a whole, while it contains genes that must function selectively in diverse cell types.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjspring1 (talkcontribs) 05:02, 22 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Molecular evolution

Genome evolution is part of molecular evolution. That article is not overly long. Stuff about genome evolution should be added there until we get a length problem. Then the soulution is obvious, but not until then. --Ettrig (talk) 08:06, 8 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
