Abstract
The truth inherent in evolutionary conservation has now been realized that humans have DNA stretches faithfully transmitted and brilliantly copied for billions and billions of years. Human genome comprises of large number of DNA sequences whose presence is well proven among organisms evolved during Pre Cambrian and thereafter. Human genome has many genes exactly similar to variety of organisms referrable to animalia; this short review highlights about DNA sequences also found among some plants. The hypothesis is that DNA stretches must have been ceaselessly replicated during early phases of evolution and DNA sequences got randomly distributed among trillion cells and evolving organisms. This gets upheld by series of observations based on Southern hybridization studies and also, by blasting sequenced genomic DNA from small aquatic weed the quillwort, Isoetes pantii, and Ginkgo biloba (maiden hair tree ) with the human genome using gene bank public database ( http:www.ncbi.nim.nih.gov ). Ancestors and related species of these extant genera have had flourished during 150 to 300 million years ago; this is intriguing that these plants also possess some genes exhibiting 50 to 80% concordant DNA stretches of many loci on human chromosomes.
Relevance of this unity and diversity among dispersal of DNA sequences is that human genes are not “exclusive” to human being. So, obviously , our genome is an admixture - package of DNA sequences; many of them had had got randomly dispersed several billion years ago in organisms which were, then on the track of biological evolution sometime in Pre Cambrian.
