- 生殖生物学 生殖生物学
背景情况:
- 在许多物种中观察到的地理偏生,性和无性种群具有不同的分布,在许多物种中观察到的.
- 能够进行性和无性繁殖的可选性原体也表现出这种模式,但驱动机制尚不清楚.
- 据推测,息地特征,如宿主植物特征和的宽度,会影响繁殖模式选择.
研究的目的:
- 为了调查区分或宽度的变化是否解释了选择性基因棒昆虫Megacrania batesii的地理代.
- 为了确定宿主植物的表型和密度是否与性别分布相对应的部分遗传种群的分布.
主要方法:
- 在Megacrania batesii.自然范围内的宿主植物采样.
- 宿主植物表型特征的量化 (叶子厚度,性,尖大小/密度,植物高度,化学成分).
- 对宿主植物密度和利基范围的评估,无论是性种群还是亲遗传种群.
主要成果:
- 很少有证据表明,在宿主植物中,有显著的表型差异存在于性和副遗传M. batesii种群之间.

02:55The Evidence for Evolution
42.6K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

02:16Genetics of Speciation
19.2K
Speciation is the evolutionary process resulting in the formation of new, distinct species—groups of reproductively isolated populations.

01:31Formation of Species
39.1K
Speciation describes the formation of one or more new species from one or sometimes multiple original species. The resulting species are discrete from the parent species, and barriers to reproduction will typically exist. There are two primary mechanisms, speciation with and without geographic isolation—allopatric and sympatric speciation, respectively.

02:40Pollination and Flower Structure
63.7K
Flowers are the reproductive, seed-producing structures of angiosperms. Typically, flowers consist of sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Sepals and petals are the vegetative flower organs. Stamens and carpels are the reproductive organs.

02:27Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
6.5K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
