Extinct 4-A comparison of DNA or protein sequences from different species can reveal evolutionary relationships. This assumption is based on the idea that the nucleotide or amino acid sequence of a particular gene or the protein it encodes, respectively, mutates at a similar rate in different individuals. However, remember that the rate of mutation alone does not determine how fast a DNA sequence will change. The effects of mutation on survival and reproductive success (natural selection), as well as the generation time of the organism, also play important roles in the overall rate of genetic change in a population. VU NT EW CR Vulnerable (UCN31 Why might a non-coding region of DNA be more reliable than a gene like Leptin for building phylogenies? LC
