reproducing organisms‚ and unfavorable traits that are heritable become less common. Natural selection acts on the phenotype‚ or the observable characteristics of an organism‚ such that individuals with favorable phenotypes are more likely to survive and reproduce than those with less favorable phenotypes. If these phenotypes have a genetic basis‚ then the genotype associated with the favorable phenotype will increase in frequency in the next generation. Over time‚ this process can result in adaptations that

the traits they will have? In order to fully understand this‚ it is important to first distinguish between a child’s genetic inheritance and the actual expression of those genes. A genotype refers to all of the genes that a person has inherited. The actual express of these traits is the person’s phenotype. The phenotype can include physical traits‚ such as height and color or the eyes‚ as well as behavioral traits such as shyness‚ highly emotional‚ abnormal traits (ex. Schizophrenia). Some basic examples

Multifactorial: characters that have many factors‚ both genetic and environmental‚ collectively influence phenotype. 3. Pleiotropy: when a gene controls multiple phenotypic effects 4. Epistasis: When a gene at one locus alters the phenotypic expression of a gene at a second locus 5. Carrier: a person who is heterozygous for a recessive disease and therefore does not display the phenotype (disease). They
