The amount of genetic variation by examining phenotypic variation was difficult because many traits, a complex interaction of many genes and environmental factors determines the phenotype

The neutral-mutation hypothesis proposes that most molecular variation is neutral with regard to natural selection and is shaped largely by mutation and genetic drift.

The Death of a Gene

When a gene is duplicated, the new copy is often dead-on arrival (lacks the regulatory elements).

When a nonfunctioning duplicate is fixed in the population, or a functioning gene becomes nonfunctional, the result is a genetic skeleton called a pseudogene.

Deletions are important in shaping the genome.

Deletion plays a key role in gene trafficking.which is the movement of genes to new sites in the genome.
