Which of the given statement is incorrect about the Chromosomal Rearrangements?

In general, the order of orthologs is not well conserved in prokaryotes when the genomes have diverged sufficiently that the orthologs have < 50% identity

Comparison of the number of rearrangements in a given period of evolutionary history may vary significantly from one organism to the next

If gene A has a neighboring gene B, then if an ortholog of A occurs in another genome, there is an increased probability of an ortholog of B also occurring in the other organism

If gene A has a neighboring gene B, then if an ortholog of A occurs in another genome, the B ortholog is more likely to be a neighbor of the A ortholog of the genome of the second species if the two species are more divergent

In general, the order of orthologs is not well conserved in prokaryotes when the genomes have diverged sufficiently that the orthologs have < 50% identity
