Re: Are mutations dominant or recessive?

Merely selection, no mutations mentioned.

Wha??? Then you didn't watch the video, because he mentions mutations at :41 seconds into the video, Faith.

Verbatum from the video starting at :41 sec -thru- :54 sec:

quote:
A mutation has occurred that had an effect on a process or a structure, and if it increased the reproductive success of the organism it was in, it was retained by evolution; and if it did not, it disappeared.

Maybe you missed it?

Re: Are mutations dominant or recessive?

My point is ONLY that selection alone is given in the title as the cause of changes in genetic composition

The title says, How selection changes the genetic composition of a population. Not that selection alone changes the genetic composition. Obviously the how is what the video gets into explaining.

It would be like watching a video called, How Einstein change Physics, then claiming the title says nothing about relativity being how Einstein changed physics.

Re: Whatever

To all: I need a break again badly. Today's collection of misrepresentations, straw man stupidities, accusations and abusive talk is getting to me. So long until MUCH later.

Come hang out at the 420 thread, Buffalo Soldier. Relax for a bit, mello out, then, come back to this thread and admit you need lots more to learn before discussing these subjects with any kind of authority.
