Abstract excerpt
The genetic changes taking place during adaptive evolution are particularly interesting in evolutionary biology. As a consequence of adaptive evolution, natural populations of an organism under selective conditions change genetically and phenotypically after a number of generations in order to survive in that particular environment. When a DNA-damaging and mutagenic agent like UV light is experimentally used as a...
