| Every known mutation has either decreased information content or was informationally neutral. |
| We also analyze the evidence for the presence of a disease mutation after inferring the ancestry of a locus. |
| The plant and seed pigmentation components can be lost independently by mutation or unequal crossing over, leading to different derivatives. |
| Since junk DNA does not code for proteins, mutations can accumulate within it without natural selection weeding them out. |
| These rates are greater than expected for additive or multiplicative effects of the single mutations. |
| It is proposed that the effects of the selected mutations were propagated into the active site through groups of interacting residues. |
