Compared to Other Nuclear Genes,ribosomal Genes Differ in Their Base

Question

Compared to other nuclear genes,ribosomal genes differ in their base compositions.

Accepted Answer

Ribosomal genes have a more conserved base composition across species compared to other nuclear genes, which tend to have more variation in base composition. This is because ribosomal genes are highly conserved and necessary for protein synthesis, and any mutations that affect their function would be detrimental to the organism. Therefore, natural selection favors a more uniform base composition in ribosomal genes across different species.
