This lecture covers the alignment of DNA sequences and the calculation of genetic distance, focusing on comparing sequences with different amino acids and identifying differences between opsins for red and green. The consequences of incorrect alignment during meiosis I are discussed, including unequal crossing over and the impact of friction. Various scenarios of correct and incorrect alignments are presented, highlighting the importance of proper sequence matching to prevent unequal crossing over.
