What are pseudogenes?
Why are rRNA genes and internal transcribed spacers (ITS) frequently used for organismal identification and evolutionary comparisons between organisms?
Genome projects on Drosophila and Anopheles have identified approximately 6,000 1:1 orthologs ranging from 100% to 20% identity. Why were no orthologs at a lower identity identified?
What is orthology in the context of genome comparisons?
What is the physiological purpose of a tandem gene array?
Organisms with extremely large genomes tend to have high amounts of what?
Why are rRNA genes more useful in molecular typing than other genes?
