Okay, so in the human genome, where do we see most of the diversity? is it a, in the sequences for the t -r -nas, b, the homeotic genes, c, the mitochondrial dna, or d in single -nucleotide polymorphisms? okay, so a good way to approach this question is to think about where in the genome diversity would be tolerated and where it would not.
00:28
So which sequences would be highly conserved.
00:34
So any change to function is likely to be an absolute catastrophe.
00:40
For example, if we look at the t rna genes, we don't see much diversity in these at all, because any change in the structure of a t rna could potentially prevent protein synthesis, which would be awful.
00:54
Similarly, the homeotic genes, it's not here.
00:56
Those are very important to development...
