We used a nonmanipulative, marker-based method to study quantitative genetic inheritance in two habitats of a common monkeyflower population. The method involved regressing quantitative trait ...

Individuals display morphological variation when genetic buffering is reduced, allowing phenotypic differences to be selected for during successive generations. A new study shows that perturbations of ...

Abstract: Parallel phenotypic evolution, the independent evolution of the same trait in closely related lineages, is interesting because it tells us about the contribution of natural selection to ...

This is a historical reflection on the scientific and personal context leading up to and including the publication of R.A. Fisher’s paper “The Correlation between Relatives on the Supposition of ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Genes are located on chromosomes. Chromosomes are in pairs and genes, or their alleles, are located on each of these pairs. When the cell divides in half, each chromosome ends up in a different cell.
