How can evolution select for phenotypes that postpone reproduction or sexual maturity?” There is often a trade-off between reproduction and maintenance, and in many species reproduction and senescence are closely linked. Recent studies of mice, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Drosophila suggest that there is a conserved genetic pathway that regulates aging and that it can indeed be selected for. This pathway involves the response to insulin and insulin-like growth factors, Name of these transcription factors are

Natural selection continually operates on each species to keep up with improvements made by competing species; each species’ environment deteriorates as its competitors evolve new adaptations. This is known as

 In a human population, the gene frequencies of the alleles for the ABO system are as follows:

A = 29%                         B = 7%                                    0=64%

Assuming complete random mating and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,
