Document Summary
Those with the favorable traits will survive and produce more offspring. In the production of sex cells, that pair is separated. Therefor, must get the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosomes: transcription: formation of messenger rna (mrna), rna consists of 4 nucleotides, a, c, g, uracil (u). The protein is not changed: mutation is neutral with respect to natural selection, there is a change in the amino acid sequence of a protein. The protein is changed: the change in the protein is not functionally important. This mutation is neutral with respect to natural selection: the change in the protein is functionally important. With these, homozygosity goes up, heterozygosity goes down. No change in allele frequency: negative, assortive mating. No change in allele frequency: mutation: allele variability within a population increases, and between populations increases, among disadvantageous mutations, those that are recessives will persist in a population/species at higher frequencies that mutations that are dominant.
