[QUOTE="Resha Caner, post: 68370199, member: 269139"] If it's part of what makes a gorilla a gorilla (as biologists distinguish the species from chimps & humans), then let's include it. If not, let's exclude it. Each set of 3 bases - sure. It's more than just these 2 isn't it? There's quite a long list of mutation mechanisms, though it seems they can be grouped into 3 categories: substitution, gain, and loss. So are there differences due to synonomous mutations of the genome of gorillas and chimps that are considered part of what distinguishes those 2 species? Well, yes, but your tree doesn't show a branch for Koko. It shows a branch for gorillas, so I assume biologists have some way of identifying the population of gorillas as unique compared to the population of chimps. That's what I'm after. I was going to write it out this way: U->AP---------->AG U->AP->ABQ->ABC U->AP->ABQ->ABH In addition to the sets I noted earlier (A,B,G,C,H), I've added U (universal ancestor), P (vertex of the first branch), and Q (vertex of the second branch).
