Abstract excerpt
Parts of 28S (nuclear) and 12S (mitochondrial) ribosomal RNA of Palearctic, Nearctic and African species of the obscura group have been sequenced by the direct method of sequencing. Rates of nucleotide substitutions in both molecules were compared. The nucleotide divergence is higher in the mitochondrial rRNA. Average distances of species taken in pairwise were compared to results obtained with the melanogaster...
