VARIOUS MECHANISMS. “Several mechanisms can alter the genetic material of eukaryotic species: A: DNA point mutations (stars) can alter single (or few) nucleotides. B: Genetic material can be transferred from a donor lineage over species barriers (dashed line) into the genome of an acceptor lineage. This can either be limited to single genes (horizontal gene transfer) or comprise entire chromosomes (horizontal chromosome transfer). C: Inter- or intra-chromosomal rearrangements can lead to a variety of genomic changes. Double-strand breaks are indicated by red arrows and dashed lines.”
