You compare the genomes of two related species. You find that genes that regulate developmental processes (the ones that shape how the body forms) exhibit a lot of non-synonymous substitutions, while genes involved in basic cell function exhibit more synonymous substitutions. What does this indicate?

    It means that the developmental regulation genes are being affected by drift, while the basic cell function genes have a lower rate of mutation.

    The developmental regulation genes are being affected by drift, while the basic cell function genes have a lower mutation rate.

    A chunk of loci on a chromosome that are in strong linkage disequilibrium suggests that one of the loci in the middle of that was probably under recent strong selection.

    Explanation:

    The more closer the alleles are located on a chromosome higher is the frequency of getting inherited together.

    Distance between alleles on chromosome, genetic drift, mutation are some of the factors affecting linkage disequilibrium
