The Effects of a Mutation on a Single Gene

i think most of us come into evolution with a kind of naive idea that there is variation in traits, and that there's the sort of underlying genes that are contributing to that. We we consider the effect of each genin dently, because that's the simple way to think about it. What you're saying is that what really matters for the traits and for how variation. And particular lose affect those traits is the identity of all the other genes and all the other alils in the geno. So far we've arrived at this idea that gen effects and genomes are our tangled webs. And it seems like the whole system ought to freeze up because, you know, pull on any one
