From the Preface of our textbook:
“Development weaves genotype and environment into phenotype.”
From the Preface of our textbook:

identical twins
schizophrenia
discordance = when identical twins have different phenotypes
5
polyphenism = two or more discrete phenotypes from one genotype
6
Evidence the following contributes to aging and life span:
1) gene regulation using a polyphenism as a model example
2) normal metabolism “higher metabolism = shorter life span”
free radicals
repair mechanisms
mitochondria
caloric restriction
3) low level stress induction
caloric restriction
4) telomere shortening
7
Why are we studying aging as a topic in this course?
1) Life span is based on the rate of aging and although
aging has seemed like a physiological ‘wear and tear’, it
now seems to be related to growth / reproduction and
those are developmental processes.
2) Life span is inherited (there is a program represented
in the genetic code – genotype).
3) The life span phenotype is not always constant, but can
affected by the environment (phenotypic plasticity).
4) The study of model examples of phenotypic plasticity is
helping us understand complex but fundamental principles
8
of development.

metazoan / microbe symbioses
How are microbes acquired/transmitted?
1) acquired from the environment
2) horizontal transmission
3) vertical transmission
How are microbes maintained?
How is host development affected?
26
Chapter 3: Symbioses
parasitism
mutualism
commensalism
Some of Gilbert’s examples are about environmental
modulation of development and some aren’t.
27
Life Cycle Symbioses
pollination
28
Plant / fungus symbioses:
Endophytes
Mycorrhizae
29
Wolbachia
Bacteria transmitted primarily by being in the cytoplasm of the
egg. Therefore, natural selection favor increasing the proportion
of females:
1)male lethality = less competition for resources
2)males change sex
3)“male” parthenogenesis
4)cytoplasmic incompatibility
30
Organisms often form symbioses not just with one microbial species
but with several = microbial consortia.

No mouth, anus, or gut.
Hosts a sulfur-metabolizing bacterium and three other species.
