Answer: They evolve through genetic drift.

Explanation: <u>Junk DNA refers to noncoding sections of a genome</u>. It consists of repeated segments scattered randomly throughout the genome generated through transposition or movement of sections of DNA to different positions in the genome.

Genetic drift is the change in the frequency of an allele in a population due to random sampling of organisms. This process is caused by spontaneous mutations and may cause the alleles to disappear completely and thereby reduce genetic variation. <u>Many of these genetic alterations are in regions of "junk DNA"</u>

Testing Two-Point Discrimination
yanalaym [24]
Two-point discrimination is the minimal distance which someone can perceive two different stimuli that given simultaneously. An area with higher receptor density will have a lower two-point discrimination result since the distance between receptor is lower. 
The area that needs a high sensitivity like the palm of the <span>hands(especially the fingertips), face</span>, and tongue should be the one with lowest two-point discrimination.

In this report, a<span>nterior forearm two-point discrimination result is the lower than the fingertip. This result is suspicious since the forearm shouldn't more sensitive than the fingertip. Fingertip two-point discrimination is around 2-6mm and forearm should be much higher than 6mm.
