Summary Introduction

To review:

The authenticity of a biologist’s statement about the transcription factor, which claims it to be a pseudogene in flies.

Given:

In the given study, a hypothetical gene encodes for the transcription factors in various species of Drosophila. According to the diagram given below, one exon of this gene is sequenced in four species.

Introduction:

Pseudogene refers to that part of the gene, which is imperfect. It is related to real genes but has lost some functionality in relation to the complete genes. The pseudogenes are developed due to mutation or substitutions that occurred at various time intervals. The pseudogenes are formed by the accumulation of these mutations or substitution.
