Abstract:
Populations of the European house mouse have acquired resistance to anticoagulant pesticides from a closely related species. This discovery improves our understanding of the circumstances in which interspecific genetic exchange is likely to facilitate adaptation.

Introduction to Seed Plants
Most plants are seed plants—characterized by seeds, pollen, and reduced gametophytes. Seed plants include gymnosperms and angiosperms.
Gene Flow
Gene flow is the transfer of genes among populations, resulting from either the dispersal of gametes or from the migration of individuals.
What is a Species?
Overview
Dihybrid Crosses
Overview
Plant Breeding and Biotechnology
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.
Genetics of Speciation
Speciation is the evolutionary process resulting in the formation of new, distinct species—groups of reproductively isolated populations.
