Difference between Genetics and Neutral theory of molecular evolution

Genetics vs. Neutral theory of molecular evolution

Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms. The neutral theory of molecular evolution holds that at the molecular level most evolutionary changes and most of the variation within and between species is not caused by natural selection but by genetic drift of mutant alleles that are neutral.

Similarities between Genetics and Neutral theory of molecular evolution

Genetics and Neutral theory of molecular evolution have 19 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allele, Amino acid, Charles Darwin, DNA replication, Evolution, Fitness (biology), Genetic code, Genetic drift, Genetic hitchhiking, Genetic linkage, Genetic variation, Genome, Molecular clock, Mutation, Natural selection, Nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution, Phenotype, Population genetics, Tomoko Ohta.

Allele

An allele is a variant form of a given gene.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

Charles Darwin

Charles Robert Darwin, (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist, geologist and biologist, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution.

Fitness (biology)

Fitness (often denoted w or ω in population genetics models) is the quantitative representation of natural and sexual selection within evolutionary biology.

Genetic code

The genetic code is the set of rules used by living cells to translate information encoded within genetic material (DNA or mRNA sequences) into proteins.

Genetic drift

Genetic drift (also known as allelic drift or the Sewall Wright effect) is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling of organisms.

Genetic hitchhiking

Genetic hitchhiking, also called genetic draft or the hitchhiking effect, is when an allele changes frequency not because it itself is under natural selection, but because it is near another gene that is undergoing a selective sweep and that is on the same DNA chain.

Genetic linkage

Genetic linkage is the tendency of DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction.

Genetic variation

Genetic variation means that biological systems – individuals and populations – are different over space.

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism.

Molecular clock

The molecular clock is a technique that uses the mutation rate of biomolecules to deduce the time in prehistory when two or more life forms diverged.

Mutation

In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

Natural selection

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype.

Nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution

The nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution is a modification of the neutral theory of molecular evolution that accounts for the fact that not all mutations are either so deleterious such that they can be ignored, or else neutral.

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).

Population genetics

Population genetics is a subfield of genetics that deals with genetic differences within and between populations, and is a part of evolutionary biology.
