Question

When a new gene is discovered, a standard approach to understanding its function is to look through a database of known genes and find close matches. The closeness of two genes is measured by the extent to which they are aligned?

Answer 1

Answer:

All present research in genetics can be traced back to Mendel's discovery of the laws governing the inheritance of traits. The word genetics was introduced in 1905 by English biologist William Bateson, who was one of the discoverers of Mendel's work and who became a champion of Mendel's principles of inheritance.
