Document Summary
Since both ecology leads to natural selection, and genetics likewise is the transmission of these genes across generations. The use of genetic principles to describe ecology and evolution. The first point to think of, are that genomes are mosaics, some of the dna are mitochondria, some are chloroplasts. Sex chromosomes, where some have x, males only have y. For some, there is only a w for female and all have z. Autosomes can be divided into two areas, one is high recombination and low recombination. Some areas do not recombine quite as readily to increase variation, while some do in fact do that. Mitochondria dna is maternally inherited, all the cytoplasms that are provided to females are maternally inherited. Areas of low recombination, have whole areas of chromosomes which are inherited together, areas of high recombination do not generally and are broken up. When males leave groups for elephants, they are not attached to a group.
