The Origin and Maintenance of Genetic Variation - Lecture 6
Offered By: Yale University via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fundamental concepts of genetic variation in this 48-minute lecture from Yale University's "Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior" course. Delve into the origins of genetic diversity through mutations and sexual recombination. Examine how selection processes impact trait survival and reproduction. Investigate the role of population size in evolution and genetic fixation rates. Learn about mutation rates, recombination mechanisms, and genetic variation in humans. Understand the factors involved in maintaining genetic diversity within populations. Gain insights into the complex interplay between genetics, evolution, and population dynamics in this comprehensive overview of genetic variation origins and maintenance.
