Protobothrops
''Protobothrops'' is a genus of venomous pit vipers found in Asia.. The venom of ''Protobothrops'' can be diverse and unique across individual organisms of the same and differing species and has demonstrated the ability to evolve in an accelerated manner. One possible explanation for these traits is that the habitat in which ''Protobothrops'' reside contains a large variety of prey which may have prompted the diversification of the venom related gene In biology, the word gene (from , ; "... Wilhelm Johannsen coined the word gene to describe the Mendelian units of heredity..." meaning ''generation'' or ''birth'' or ''gender'') can have several different meanings.
