Genetics is one of the most actively developing areas of science at present. The importance and diversity of genetic research is increasing as the volume of genetic information acquired through massive genomic analyzes increases. In this article I want to talk about homologous genes.
What are homologous genes? Homologous genes are a group of hereditary factors that perform an identical function, despite the fact that the proteins they encode may not have common amino acid residues. The homology of several paired diploid chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster was first described by S. L. Warren in 1920. In the 50s of the 20th century, the principle of the general direction of the evolution of molecular events was formulated, which led to the emergence of eukaryotic cells, including the formation of information-encoding operons and regulation of transcription. According to this principle, probably one
