What is the primary difference between orthologous and paralogous genes?
How does gene duplication contribute to the formation of gene families?
In a phylogenetic study, researchers used a molecular clock to estimate the divergence time between two mammalian species. If the mutation rate is 0.5% per million years and the genetic difference is 5%, estimate the divergence time.
Why might natural selection complicate the use of molecular clocks in phylogenetic analysis?
