By Jennifer Cutraro
ScienceNOW Daily News
17 April 2007

One of evolutionary biology's greatest challenges is deciphering the origins
of complex structures. Now, scientists have unraveled the steps in the
evolution of the bacterial flagellum, a tiny, whiplike structure used in
swimming and host invasion. A new study shows the flagellum is the result
of successive duplications of a single gene in the ancestor of today's
bacteria, a finding that not only answers an important question about the
evolution of complex structures but also provides additional ammunition to
counter arguments from evolution's foes.
