    Snippet: For the selective hypothesis, arguments to the effect that transitions are more conservative typically invoke a biochemical factor (or a composite such as the Grantham index) that correlates with patterns of evolutionary divergence, and is found to be more conserved by transitions than by transversions (e.g., Vogel and Kopun 1977; Zhang 2000) . This form of argument suffers from a logical circularity: if mutation shapes patterns of evolutionary a.....
    Document: For the selective hypothesis, arguments to the effect that transitions are more conservative typically invoke a biochemical factor (or a composite such as the Grantham index) that correlates with patterns of evolutionary divergence, and is found to be more conserved by transitions than by transversions (e.g., Vogel and Kopun 1977; Zhang 2000) . This form of argument suffers from a logical circularity: if mutation shapes patterns of evolutionary amino acid replacement, then biochemical factors chosen for their ability to make sense of evolutionary patterns are not independent of mutation.
