Слайд 5Terminology
Heritable, environmental effects on the phenotype, modification variability.
Non-heritable, mutation variability,
the genetic basis of continuous and discontinuous variation (variability of intermittent and uninterruptible)
genetic recombination: free assortment, crossing over, random fusion;
Слайд 6Variation
Results from genetic and environmental factors
In biology, any difference between
cells, individual organisms, or groups of organisms of any species caused either by genetic differences (genotypic variation) or by the effect of environmental factors on the expression of the genetic potentials (phenotypic variation).
Variation may be shown in physical appearance, metabolism, fertility, mode of reproduction, behavior, learning and mental ability, and other obvious or measurable characters.
Слайд 7Genotypic variations
Genotypic variations are caused by differences in number or
structure of chromosomes or by differences in the genes carried by the chromosomes.
Gene mutation: point, deletion, substitution
Change in chromosomes structure: deletion, translocation, inversion, duplication.
Abnormal chromosomes numbers: aneuploidy, polyploidy
Genetic recombination: free assortment, crossing over, random fusion
Слайд 8Genetic Variation Causes
Genetic variation occurs mainly through DNA mutation, gene flow
(movement of genes from one population to another) and sexual reproduction. Due to the fact that environments are unstable, populations that are genetically variable will be able to adapt to changing situations better than those that do not contain genetic variation.
Слайд 9Environmentally factors
Environmentally caused variations may result from one factor or the
combined effects of several factors, such as climate, food supply, and actions of other organisms.
Phenotypic variations also include stages in an organism’s life cycle and seasonal variations in an individual. These variations do not involve any hereditary alteration and in general are not transmitted to future generations;
consequently, they are not significant in the process of evolution.
Слайд 11Classification of variation
continuous, or quantitative
discontinuous, or qualitative
Слайд 15The genetic basis of discontinuous variation
In discontinuous (qualitative) variation:
different alleles at
a single gene locus have large effects on the phenotype
different genes have quite different effects on the phenotype.
Слайд 17The genetic basis of continuous variation
In continuous (quantitative) variation:
different alleles at
a single gene locus have small effects on the phenotype
different genes have the same, often additive, effect on the phenotype
a large number of genes may have a combined effect on a particular phenotypic trait; these genes are known as polygenes.
