In the early 1900s, mathematicians figured out how to represent a population of organisms in simple equations.
Within a given population of organisms, the various forms that may engage in conjugation are known as mating types.
By allying the precision of Crispr gene editing with what is known as a gene drive, scientists can rapidly introduce new, well-defined genes into a population of organisms.
Deme, in biology, a population of organisms within which the exchange of genes is completely random; i.e., all mating combinations between individuals of opposite sexes have the same probability of occurrence.
The gene pool is the sum total of all the genes and combinations of genes that occur in a population of organisms of the same species.
Mosaic evolution, the occurrence, within a given population of organisms, of different rates of evolutionary change in various body structures and functions.
Genetic engineering, the artificial manipulation, modification, and recombination of DNA or other nucleic acid molecules in order to modify an organism or population of organisms.
Modern biomimicry is made possible by evolution the mechanism by which nature sorts through and tests countless prototypes to find suitable adaptations for a given population of organisms.
High-level sciences like biology and economics study patterns in the arrangement of high-level properties, such as the distributions of genotypes in a population of organisms, or the prices of a range of commodities.
Teach about natural selection: In this classroom activity for grades 9-16, simulate simulate breeding bunnies to show the impact that genetics can have on the evolution of a population of organisms.
Although pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling is now being considered for decision support for susceptibility breakpoint determination against Gram-negative bacteria, these PD-derived breakpoints should be verified using a clinically applicable population of organisms.
