Exercise 11
Which statements are true? explain why or why not.
-Rates of evolution appear to vary in different lin- eages. For example, the rate of evolution in the rat lineage is significantly higher than in the human lineage. These rate differences are apparent whether one looks at changes in nucleotide sequences that encode proteins and are sub- ject to selective pressure or at changes in noncoding nucle- otide sequences, which are not under obvious selection pressure. Can you offer one or more possible explanations for the slower rate of evolutionary change in the human lineage versus the rat lineage?
