A phenotype-genotype model of a population and observation of the
morphological and molecular evolution
Abstract
A phenotype-genotype model is not a model with an evolutionary
algorithm. It is a simple physical model of a population composed of
individuals having genes and phenotypes, possibility of mutations of the
genes and natural selection depending on phenotypes. The relationships
between these phenomena were programmed according to the current vision
in the genetic and evolutionary science. The evolution of such a
population appears alone. The phenotype-genotype model of a population
can be used to analyse the rate of the morphological evolution: the
phenotype variation amounts many generations or/and molecular evolution:
the genotype variation in time. It can be used to analyse relationships
between rate of evolution and different physiological, population or
environmental factors, for instance: an intensity of natural selection,
population numbers and others. Exemplary results are presented in this
paper.
