Text of the page (random words):
species in 2010 douglas l theobald published a statistical analysis of available genetic data 3 mapping them to phylogenetic trees that gave strong quantitative support by a formal test for the unity of life 4 traditionally these trees have been built using morphological methods such as appearance embryology etc recently it has been possible to construct these trees using molecular data based on similarities and differences between genetic and protein sequences all these methods produce essentially similar results even though most genetic variation has no influence over external morphology that phylogenetic trees based on different types of information agree with each other is strong evidence of a real underlying common descent 28 objections edit 2005 tree of life shows many horizontal gene transfers implying multiple possible origins gene exchange clouds phylogenetic analysis edit further information horizontal gene transfer theobald noted that substantial horizontal gene transfer could have occurred during early evolution bacteria today remain capable of gene exchange between distantly related lineages this weakens the basic assumption of phylogenetic analysis that similarity of genomes implies common ancestry because sufficient gene exchange would allow lineages to share much of their genome whether or not they shared an ancestor monophyly this has led to questions about the single ancestry of life 3 however biologists consider it very unlikely that completely unrelated proto organisms could have exchanged genes as their different coding mechanisms would have resulted only in garble rather than functioning systems later however many organisms all derived from a single ancestor could readily have shared genes that all worked in the same way and it appears that they have 3 convergent evolution edit further information convergent evolution if early organisms had been driven by the same environmental conditions to evolve similar biochemistry convergently they might independently have acquired similar genetic sequences theobald s formal test was accordingly criticised by takahiro yonezawa and colleagues 29 for not including consideration of convergence they argued that theobald s test was insufficient to distinguish between the competing hypotheses theobald has defended his method against this claim arguing that his tests distinguish between phylogenetic structure and mere sequence similarity therefore theobald argued his results show that real universally conserved proteins are homologous 30 31 rna world edit main article rna world the possibility is mentioned above that all living organisms may be descended from an original single celled organism with a dna genome and that this implies a single origin for life although such a universal common ancestor may have existed such a complex entity is unlikely to have arisen spontaneously from non life and thus a cell with a dna genome cannot reasonably be regarded as the origin of life to understand the origin of life it has been proposed that dna based cellular life descended from relatively simple pre cellular self replicating rna molecules able to undergo natural selection during the course of evolution this rna world was replaced by the evolutionary emergence of the dna world a world of independently self replicating rna genomes apparently no longer exists rna viruses are dependent on host cells with dna genomes because the rna world is apparently gone it is not clear how scientific evidence could be brought to bear on the question of whether there was a single origin of life event from which all life descended see also edit the ancestor s tale urmetazoan bibliography edit crombie a c hoskin michael in slovak 1970 the scientific movement and the diffusion of
