The link is that it's genes that are evolving. Evolution refers to the changing of the genetic content of a genome. In other words, the genetic code says one thing; then it says something different. It is the accumulation of these changes that causes the origin of species. http://www.cabdirect.org/abstracts/19432...
DNA is thus especially important in the study of evolution. The amount of difference in DNA is a test of the difference between one species and another â and thus how closely or distantly related they are.
