Evolution: Replacing Genes and Traits through Hybridization
The role of hybridization in evolution has been debated for over a century. Recent molecular genetic studies indicate that hybridization is surprisingly frequent in natural populations, and that it may allow populations to regain traits that have been lost and possibly to replace damaged alleles with functional copies from related species.
متن کاملThe Evolution of Sex-Related Traits and Genes 2012
A growing number of studies are drawing attention to a consistent pattern of rapid evolution of sex-related traits and genes. Different hypotheses have been proposed to explain this rapid divergence. For traits and genes directly involved in reproduction, the pressures imposed by different sexes are likely to have driven rapid evolution, either by conflictive interactions, forms of female crypt...
متن کامل1 Traits , Genes , and Coding
According to the received view in biology, genes code for phenotypic traits during development. However, there are reasons to think that the massively distributed character of the causal systems underlying development is in tension with such representational talk about genes. The main contenders from the literature that purport to establish that genes are genuine coding elements in development ...
متن کاملProduction of genetically male tilapia through interspecific hybridization between Oreochromis niloticus and O. aureus
This study was conducted to produce a high percentage of genetically male tilapia through interspecific hybridization between Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus and Blue tilapia, O. aureus and evaluate sex ratio, productive performance and heterosis of the progeny produced. The results revealed that sex ratios of the progenies of (♀ O. aureus x ♂ O. niloticus) and (♀ O. niloticus x ♂ O. aureus...
