Which statement about genome evolution is false?     Mutations at the ends of introns are less likely than in the middle of an intron.     Synonymous mutations rates are much higher than nonsynonymous mutation rates.     Psuedogenes show high rates of mutations.     Comparison of the mutational change in a specific gene can be used as a molecular clock to date evolutionary events between species.     Evolution in a gene sequence will occur the fastest in regions that have the greatest effect on function.

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
