Genetics, Biochemistry

The neutral theory of evolution holds that most of the genetic variation within and between species is due to random genetic drift of mutant alleles that are selectively neutral.

It occurs when evolutionary processes such as genetic drift and natural selection act on genetic variation, resulting in certain characteristics becoming more or less common within a population over successive generations.

The Boveri-Sutton chromosome theory (also known as the chromosome theory of inheritance or the Sutton-Boveri theory) is a fundamental unifying theory of genetics which identifies chromosomes as the carriers of genetic material.

Mary Frances Lyon (15 May 1925 - 25 December 2014) was an English geneticist best known for her discovery of X-chromosome inactivation, an important biological phenomenon.
