Random unpredictable events in genetics include mutations (changes in DNA sequences), genetic recombination (reshuffling of genetic material during meiosis), and genetic drift (random changes in allele frequencies in a population). These events can lead to variation among individuals and can impact the evolution and diversity of species.

Does Evolution results from random events?

Evolution is a theory that all species are constantly evolving. It states that evolving can be faster in certain circumstances. Random events, especially geographical, are one of these cicumstances.


What does random mean and how does it apply to genetic?

Random: characterizing a process of selection in which each item of a set has an equal probability of being chosen. In genetics it can really be anything or random because all have an equal chance but not the dominant gene. That gene has slightly more.


Definition of the Product rule in genetics?

The product rule states that the probability of two independent events occurring together is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. In genetics, the product rule is used to calculate the probability of inheriting multiple independent traits or alleles simultaneously from different parents.


Why does sexual reproduction result in more genetics variation in a species than asexual reproduction?

Asexual reproduction results in offspring which are genetically the same as the parent organism (not counting a rare mutation). Sexual reproduction produces a random mixture of the genetics derived from both parents.In sexual reproduction, offspring are not identical to either parent.


How does the modern synthesis theory of evolution differ from Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection?

Basically, it's marriage to genetics. Early 20th century geneticists thought that natural selection was too weak to take random mutation and do anything with it. The founders of population genetics and systemists in biology by mathematical paraphernalia showed that gradual allele frequency change over time in populations of organisms was possible ( supported by experiment since ) and jumps in mutational events were not necessary. Plus the fact that Darwin's original theory had a mechanism of heredity, blending, that could not work with natural selection.
