Most of these studies have focused mainly on targeting genes in the aerial parts of the plant. |
I don't think that anything is known yet about the number, position, dominance, co-dominance or recessiveness of genes for behavior. |
Transferred genes are subject to those mutational processes affecting the recipient genome. |
Fluorescent genes from jellyfish have also been added to organisms in this manner to show which are successful recombinants. |
This may allow non-breeding animals to pass along the genes they share with their kin by helping in the rearing of young. |
The reactivation of dormant genes in fossil lineages after long time periods is considered a likely evolutionary mechanism. |
