With respect to the Jukes-Cantor and Kimura models of DNA sequence evolution, choose the right option:

a) In molecular evolution the probability of a transition tends to be larger than the probability of a transversion.
b) The Kimura model does not consider different rates for transversions and transitions.
c) The main difference introduced by Kimura was having the same rate for different kinds of mutation.

d) The distances between two sequences, when measured using the models of Kimura and Jukes-Cantor, tend to be very different, even between almost identical sequences.
e) None of the above.
