Abstract :
|
Various molecular interaction mechanisms cause biased transmission of genes. Meiotic drive is an example of strong bias, and compartmentalization of mammalian chromosomes reflects weak bias. such biases are the results of interaction between DNA and proteins, and should be distinguished from natural selection. Separating the effects of molecular interaction from those of natural selection, however, is often very difficult. Natural selection and molecular mechanisms interact, and our understanding of how selection works requires revision.
