Overlapping gene are the same sequence of DNA encodes two nonhomologous proteins because it uses more than one reading frame.

Mutations occur at the same rate in both exons and introns, but exon mutations are eliminated more effectively by selection.

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Introns may more freely accumulate point substitutions and other changes due to no selection pressure.

Introns evolve or accumulate mutations/changes much more rapidly than exons

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Intron do not face selective pressure to produce a polypeptide with a useful sequence hence highly variable.

Exon sequences are conserved by the negative selection of individuals in which the sequences have changed
