Problem:
Effective population size might have had an important influence on the evolution of genome complexity in eukaryotes.
Required:
Question 1: How could nonadaptive processes have shaped the contemporary patterns of repetitive element abundances that we see today in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes?
Question 2: How could nonadaptive processes be used to explain why some genomes have more introns than other genomes?
Please read all the questions carefully and answer them.
