BIOL 350 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Phenotypic Plasticity, Voluntary Childlessness, Eugenics
Document Summary
Change in the representation of phenotypes of individuals, resulting because of change in the frequency of genes (or genotypes), residing in the bodies within a population. Differential reproductive success of phenotypes from one generation into the next (natural selection). Sex where individual bodies interact through meiosis and syngamy of gametes. Differential propagation of genes (or genotypes) that influence the newly more successful phenotypes; i. e. change in representation of phenotypes (including. Change in the representation of particular (only certain behavioural) phenotypes of the individuals, resulting because of change in the popularity f memes (ideas, beliefs, and customs), residing (as thoughts and motivations) in the self-conscious minds within a population. Differential learning and copying success of certain behavioural phenotypes by one generation from previous generations (cultural selection), or by components of ne generation from more dominant components of the same generation (persuasion/popularity) Communication where individual minds interact through language (oral and written) and visual signals.
