Chromosomal rearrangements, genome reorganization, and speciation

Resumo

Historical analysis of studying chromosome changes in evolution allows better understanding of the current level of research in this area. Reorganizations of the genetic system due to chromosomal rearrangements have important evolutionary consequences and may lead to speciation. Despite the complexity of evaluating the primacy of chromosome changes in speciation events, such phenomena are possible and occur in nature, as recent studies have demonstrated.
