PPT-Selection on phenotype/behavior changes the underlying gene

Directional selection on allele frequency Selections alters the allele frequency of the pop FF has highest fitness SS has lowest fitness The rate of change in allele frequency is determined by the strength of selection ie the fitness differential of the phenotypes. Today’s objective:. Define each evolutionary mechanism and identify which is taking place in a given scenario.. CQ: Evolution results in a better match of an organism and the environment?. Yes. No . ,. and the rise of biological complexity. Selection needs variation. Most species have great variation in . reproductive success. .. This variation is the basis for natural selection. that means changes in gene frequencies. . Beyond alleles: quantitative genetics and the evolution of phenotypes. Continuous traits have a complex genetic basis. Polygenic trait:. influenced by many genetic loci. Interaction between alleles (epistasis). Genetic and Evolutionary Foundations of Behavior. Why Genetics?. Behavior is hereditary!. Our environment has shaped our behavior across generations . . EVOLUTION. We can learn much about our behavior by studying our animal relatives. and Evolution. DNA and Heredity . As seen in the section on Taxonomy, modern classification of organisms is being shaped by our understanding of genetics; of DNA.. DNA is a polymer (many molecules attached to one another) of nucleic acids. A nucleic acid is monomer (one molecule) that contains three parts:. and plant phenotypes. George . Gkoutos.

The genotype/phenotype relationships explored by Mendel are valid but atypical. Most phenotypes are not derived from a single gene/single phenotype model.. Why?. More than two alleles often exist.

Consider two independent genes, A and B; two heterozygous individuals for both genes are crossed. Complete the scheme below:. GENETIC INTERACTION. With the help of different experiments, it was found that most of the characters of living organisms are controlled / influenced / governed by a collaboration of several different genes..
