Directional Selection

Directional selection favors individuals on one end of the distribution of phenotypes present in a population.

Paralogs

Genes within the same organism that have evolved by duplication and may have different functions.

Gene Family

A group of genes sharing a common origin that typically encode proteins with similar functions.

Molecular Clock

They work best when they can be “calibrated” with other markers of time, such as fossils with known ages and placements.
