Divergence of cetacean species occurred within the last 50 to 65 million years (OLeary and Geisler, 1999).
Question:
Divergence of cetacean species occurred within the last 50 to 65 million years (O’Leary and Geisler, 1999). Explain the difference between the use of a fragment of hypervariable mitochondrial DNA as a molecular marker and the use of a gene such as the one that encodes for hemoglobin. How might you use each of these to compare DNA sequences between cetaceans and other organisms?
