... An important aspect of genetics is being able to relate the genotype with respect to a particular gene to the phenotype. Dominance: allele A1 is dominant to allele A2 if the heterozygote A1/A2 has the same phenotype as the homozygote A1/A1. Dominance of a mutant allele depends on the effects of the ...

Genome evolution
Genome evolution is the process by which a genome changes in structure (sequence) or size over time. The study of genome evolution involves multiple fields such as structural analysis of the genome, the study of genomic parasites, gene and ancient genome duplications, polyploidy, and comparative genomics. Genome evolution is a constantly changing and evolving field due to the steadily growing number of sequenced genomes, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, available to the scientific community and the public at large.
