Gene clusters are formed by duplication and divergence Sequence divergence is the basis for the evolutionary clock Pseudogenes are dead ends of evolution Unequal crossing-over rearranges gene clusters Genes for rRNA form tandem repeats ( The repeated genes for rRNA maintain constant sequence) Crossover fixation could maintain identical repeats Satellite DNAs often lie in heterochromatin Arthropod satellites have very short identical repeats Mammalian satellites consist of hierarchical repeats Minisatellites are useful for genetic mapping

母性影响表现的遗传现象与细胞质遗传十 分相似，但是这种遗传不是由细胞质基因组所 决定的，而是由核基因的产物积累在卵细胞中 的物质所决定的。 例如：锥实螺的外壳旋转方向的遗传就是母性 影响一个比较典型的例证

根据待选基因相关信息→确定筛选方法和条件 从基因库中筛选、分离基因。 多数方法是利用一段核苷酸序列DNA、cDNA或 寡聚核苷酸)或抗体作探针(Pobe),用放射性同位素或 非放射性同位素标记探针→筛选基因库
