Difference between Evolution and Maternal effect

Evolution vs. Maternal effect

Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. A maternal effect is a situation where the phenotype of an organism is determined not only by the environment it experiences and its genotype, but also by the environment and genotype of its mother.

Similarities between Evolution and Maternal effect

Evolution and Maternal effect have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allele, DNA, DNA methylation, Drosophila melanogaster, Epigenetics, Genotype, Meiosis, Phenotype, Phenotypic plasticity, Protein, Sperm.

Allele

An allele is a variant form of a given gene.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

DNA methylation

DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule.

Drosophila melanogaster

Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly (the taxonomic order Diptera) in the family Drosophilidae.

Epigenetics

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence.

Genotype

The genotype is the part of the genetic makeup of a cell, and therefore of an organism or individual, which determines one of its characteristics (phenotype).

Meiosis

Meiosis (from Greek μείωσις, meiosis, which means lessening) is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.

Phenotype

A phenotype is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird's nest).

Phenotypic plasticity

Phenotypic plasticity refers to some of the changes in an organism's behavior, morphology and physiology in response to a unique environment.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Sperm

Sperm is the male reproductive cell and is derived from the Greek word (σπέρμα) sperma (meaning "seed").

Evolution and Maternal effect Comparison

Evolution has 631 relations, while Maternal effect has 69. As they have in common 11, the Jaccard index is 1.57% = 11 / (631 + 69).
