Abstract: This thesis reports on a learning study that employed variation theory to enhance a domain-specific generic-capability pedigree analysis of Hong Kong secondary five students so as to help them develop their capability to solve pedigree problems. Pedigree analysis is a study of inheritance in genetics, which includes the deduction of dominant and recessive characters. The literature and local examination reports suggested that solving pedigree problems is difficult for students, as the process of deduction demands conceptual understanding and use of scientific language. Three biology teachers participated in this learning study using variation theory. Teachers shifted the focus of lesson observation from teaching performance to student learning, to how students deduced the dominant character from pedigree problems, which was the object of learning. To explore the effectiveness of such teaching and learning to solve pedigree problems through different patterns of variation, two cycles of learning study were conducted in two senior biology classes. Results showed that students were more able to deduce the dominant character with relevant genetic principles by experiencing the variations. Both conceptual understanding and scientific language are critical aspects of solving pedigree problems. This study also suggests that explanatory scientific writing needs to be broken down into different components and then differentiated patterns of variation designed to let students discern those components and their relationships; in that way their writing can be 'scaffolded' in a stepwise manner rather than giving them the whole writing framework at once. However, the identification of critical features and patterns of variation and their relevance to the object of learning should be considered carefully and explored further.

Download or read book Social Evolution and Inclusive Fitness Theory written by James A.R. Marshall and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social behavior has long puzzled evolutionary biologists, since the classical theory of natural selection maintains that individuals should not sacrifice their own fitness to affect that of others. Social Evolution and Inclusive Fitness Theory argues that a theory first presented in 1963 by William D. Hamilton—inclusive fitness theory—provides the most fundamental and general explanation for the evolution and maintenance of social behavior in the natural world. James Marshall guides readers through the vast and confusing literature on the evolution of social behavior, introducing and explaining the competing theories that claim to provide answers to questions such as why animals evolve to behave altruistically. Using simple statistical language and techniques that practicing biologists will be familiar with, he provides a comprehensive yet easily understandable treatment of key concepts and their repeated misinterpretations. Particular attention is paid to how more realistic features of behavior, such as nonadditivity and conditionality, can complicate analysis. Marshall highlights the general problem of identifying the underlying causes of evolutionary change, and proposes fruitful approaches to doing so in the study of social evolution. Social Evolution and Inclusive Fitness Theory describes how inclusive fitness theory addresses both simple and complex social scenarios, the controversies surrounding the theory, and how experimental work supports the theory as the most powerful explanation for social behavior and its evolution.
Download or read book Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory written by Alan R. Templeton and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory Explore the fundamentals of the biological implications of population genetic theory In the newly revised Second Edition of Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory, accomplished researcher and author Alan R. Templeton delivers a fulsome discussion of population genetics with coverage of exciting new developments in the field, including new discoveries in epigenetics and genome-wide studies. The book prepares students to successfully apply population genetics analytical tools by providing a solid foundation in microevolutionary theory. The book emphasizes that population structure forms the underlying template upon which quantitative genetics and natural selection operate and is a must-read for future population and evolutionary geneticists and those who wish to work in genetic epidemiology or conservation biology. You’ll learn about a wide array of topics, including quantitative genetics, the interactions of natural selection with other evolutionary forces, and selection in heterogeneous environments and age-structured populations. Appendices that cover genetic survey techniques and probability and statistics conclude the book. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to population genetics, including the scope of the subject, its premises, and the Hardy-Weinberg Model of Microevolution An exploration of systems of mating, including a treatment of the use of runs of homozygosity to show pedigree inbreeding in distant ancestors A practical discussion of genetic drift, including the use of effective sizes in conservation biology (with a discussion of African rhinos as an example) A concise examination of coalescence, including a treatment of the infinite sites model Perfect for graduate students in genetics and evolutionary biology programs and advanced undergraduate biology majors, Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory will also earn a place in the libraries of students taking courses in conservation biology, human genetics, bioinformatics, and genomics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, graph theory is an important analysis tool in mathematics and computer science. Because of the inherent simplicity of graph theory, it can be used to model many different physical and abstract systems such as transportation and communication networks, models for business administration, political science, and psychology and so on. The purpose of this book is not only to present the latest state and development tendencies of graph theory, but to bring the reader far enough along the way to enable him to embark on the research problems of his own. Taking into account the large amount of knowledge about graph theory and practice presented in the book, it has two major parts: theoretical researches and applications. The book is also intended for both graduate and postgraduate students in fields such as mathematics, computer science, system sciences, biology, engineering, cybernetics, and social sciences, and as a reference for software professionals and practitioners.
