Question

The following two sequences represent the same gene from two different species: Assume that all changes in the third position are synonymous and all in the first and second positions are nonsynonymous.

a) How many synonymous sites (positions) are there in the gene?

b) How many nonsynonymous sites (positions) are there in the gene?

c) How many synonymous substitutions are there between species?

d) How many nonsynonymous substitutions are there between species?

e) What is the dN/dS ratio?

f) What does the dN/dS ratio tell you about the evolution of this sequence?

Finally, It has been hypothesized that population size affects genome size. What is the proposed relationship? How can it be explained?
