(This helps resolve the "chicken and egg" paradox of which came first, genes or enzymes.) According to this hypothesis, the molecular biology of tod ...

EXOPLANETS The search for planets beyond our solar system
... Radial velocity measurements The first exoplanets were discovered through the gravitational tug they exert on their parent stars, which causes the stars to wobble. This motion is revealed in the spectrum of a star’s emitted light. Elements present in the star absorb particular wavelengths of light t ...
