Document Summary
Chapter 5 raw material: heritable variation among individuals: 5. 4: the complex link between most phenotypes and genotypes, genotype describes the genetic makeup of an individual. A phenotype may be a morphological structure, a development process, a physiological process or performance trait, or a behavior. In the simplest case, each phenotype results from a different allele or combination of alleles of a single gene. In more complex cases, the phenotypes result from complex interactions between many different genes and the environment: for most phenotypic traits, the link to the genotype is far more complicated. Chapter 6 the ways of change: drift and selection segment of dna: mechanisms of evolution include genetic drift, natural selection, migration and mutation. When mutations modify the sequence at a locus, they generate new alleles variants of a particular gene of dna region. Theorems use deductive reasoning and show that a statement necessarily follows from a series of statements or hypotheses the proof.
