Description: but it's not the way that we really want to do genome editing. The second repair pathway is a lot more interesting. In this repair pathway, it takes a homologous piece of DNA. And now mind you, in a diploid organism like people, we've got one copy of our genome from our mom and one from our dad,

Used to describe similarities in living beings due to shared ancestry.

Biology Focus

Emphasizes structure similarity, even if functions differ.

Structure Over Function

Suggests evidence of evolution in comparative anatomy.

Evolutionary Evidence

Points to shared genetic heritage in different organisms.

Genetics Commonality

Underlines the importance of common origin in genetics.

Source Importance

In phylogenetics, indicates a trait inherited from a common ancestor.

Common Ancestry

Helps to map out the evolutionary tree of life.

Evolutionary Tree

Doesn't always mean things look alike, but share an evolutionary path.

Not Physical Similarity

What you need to know...

 Double strand breaks are the most dangerous. Even one can cause cell death. The two most common pathways for repairing double strand breaks are called homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining.

Homologous
