#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

Exons are usually short, typically encoding fewer than 100 amino acids

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

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

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

A mutation that confers a more advantageous phenotype to an organism, relative to Individuals in the same population without the mutation, is positive selection of that organism.

Two genes may share some related exons but also have unique exons.
