I always thought the junk DNA was just there to speed up mutation. The
presense of more DNA would speed up the rate of mutation. Also it might have
some effect on recombination of crhomosomes, crossing over. It might even
have messages to sabatogue the DNA in some sense to create more mutations or
other changes. Either way just by exsisting whether it does anything or not
speeds up evolution. Any thoughts?
