This lecture covers the calculation of genetic distance through sequence alignment, focusing on comparing different amino acids and chromosomes, particularly chromosome X. The instructor explains the concept of unequal crossing-over due to incorrect alignment during meiosis I, highlighting the consequences of correct and incorrect alignments. The lecture also delves into the impact of friction in counteracting genetic applications.
