While there have been several studies examining the effect of MHC genotype on pre-copulatory mate choice (reviewed in Tregenza and Wedell, 2000), there is evidence the MHC may also play a role in post-copulatory sexual selection, presumably through egg-sperm interactions (Wedekind et al. 1996; Rülicke et al. 1998; Yeates…

    A mutation is any change in the DNA sequence. Sometimes a base is deleted or extra bases are added. Most common is a point mutation, where a single base is substituted for another, but some of these occur in the non-coding sequences and become a silent mutation. When a DNA change remains unrepaired in a cell, it is passed down to the offspring. However, most mutations result in recessive genes. Because humans are diploid, meaning that the individual has two sets of chromosomes from each parent,…

On page 85 on the textbook, it states that "it has been proven difficult to find a human characteristic that is not to some degree heritable. Genes often account for up to half of the variations of the group." On page 86 of the textbook it also…
