Document Summary
1. characteristics and predictions of the neutral theory of molecular evolution. Non-synonymous (mostly deleterious, rate slower: mechanisms to explain how and why, over evolutionary time, lineages may lose and/or regain genes. Selection: mechanisms to explain how and why, over evolutionary time, lineages may become less complex. advantageous. 4. explanations for similarity among paralogs vs. orthologous genes. Orthologous, common ancestor: methodologies used to determine if two genes or proteins are homologous. Blast sequence, e <10^-5, less chance that similarity is due to chance various rearrangements that have occurred during evolution of eukaryotic genomes. Puffer fish, wgd similarities and differences between the structure and organization of genes in typical. Bacteria: promoter, operon, terminator sequence, no intron, no splice signal, sd box, no. Eukaryotic: promoter, poly a signal, tata box, introns, splice signals, characteristics that make e. coli and drosophila attractive model systems for. Fast reproductive cycle, small, cheap, small genomes. In multiple-choice style questions, identify: basic structure of protein-coding and rna-coding genes.
