Organism's Ada...Confusion, Confusion, Confusion<br />Organism's Adaptation And Mutation<br /><br /><br />A. From "How Organisms Can Tolerate Mutations, Yet Adapt to Environmental Change"<br />http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/01/100120131203.htm<br /><br />- "...a longstanding conundrum: How can organisms be robust against the effects of mutations yet simultaneously adaptable when the environment changes?"<br /><br />- "New research suggests that an optimal level of robustness maintains the phenotype in one environment but also allows adaptation to environmental change." <br /><br />- "mutational robustness can either impede or facilitate adaptation depending on the population size, the mutation rate and a measure of the reproductive capabilities of a variety of genotypes, called the fitness landscape. The results provide a quantitative understanding of the relationship between robustness and evolvability, clarify a significant ambiguity in evolutionary theory and should help illuminate outstanding problems in molecular and experimental evolution, evolutionary development and protein engineering.<br /><br /><br />B. "quantitative understanding of the relationship between robustness and evolvability"<br /><br />Robustness is robustness, and evolvability is evolvability. The twain seldom meet.<br /><br />Evolvability is the capability-capacity of the organism's genome to respond to feedback from the organism's culture that a novel genetic modification will augment its energy constraint. Will increase its temporal survival. This is what evolution is about. The evolution of life and the evolution of ALL other types and sizes of cosmic mass formats.<br /><br />Robustness has to do with the capablity to perform without failure under a wide range of conditions. Occasionally there are accidents and a failure occurs, and the resulting state of the organism serves as a new ACCIDENTAL base for evolution. This IS NOT the natural process of evolution. This is an accident.<br /><br /><br />C. To uravel the comprehension of evolution, to discern the relationship between robustness and evolvability<br /><br />Look at <br />"Cosmic Evolution Simplified"<br />http://www.the-scientist.com/community/posts/list/240/122.page#4427<br /><br /><br />Dov Henis<br />(Comments From The 22nd Century)Dov Henishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06487907863785174174noreply@blogger.com
