Summary Introduction

To explain: The difference in estimates made in the timing of either origin of bilaterian animal phyla or the orders of mammals between the molecular clock evidence and paleontological evidence.

Introduction: Evolution refers to the divergence in the species or organism over a period of time through different generations. There are many evolutionary forces responsible for evolution. Mutations are one of the evolutionary forces responsible for evolution. In mutations, base pairs are either inserted or deleted and therefore, the protein coded by the particular gene either becomes dysfunctional or its function changes.

Summary Introduction
