Non-random mating is assortative mating. It is a pattern and form of sexual selection in which individuals with similar phenotypes mate with one another more frequently than would be expected under a random mating pattern. non-random mating can act as an ancillary process for natural selection to cause evolution to occur. It’s also bad for evolution because any departure from random mating upsets the equilibrium distribution of genotypes in a population. Recombination is a process by which pieces of DNA are broken and recombined to produce new combinations of alleles. recombination is important to somatic cells in eukaryotes because it can be used to help repair broken DNA. recombination by itself does not cause evolution to occur. Rather, it is a contributing mechanism that works with natural selection by creating combinations of genes that nature selects for or against. Non-random mating affects the evolution more than recombination
There is no attached table, so it could not be told precisely which of the four molecules is the DNA. But, it is known that DNA consists of deoxyribose, guanine, and phosphate.
The base unit of DNA is called a nucleotide. The nucleotide consists of a nucleobase (adenine - A, thymine - T, cytosine - C, and <u>guanine -G</u>), a monosaccharide <u>deoxyribose</u>, and a <u>phosphate </u>group. <span>By knowing this, it is easy to choose which molecule of those is the DNA.</span>
The phenotype is just a characteristic/trait.
For instance Brown and Green are phenotypes of eye color.
This can also be used in Punnet Squares, and could be displayed as B and G.
B equaling dominant Brown, and G = dominant Green, vice versa to g and b where they are recessive.
