Genomic Conflict in Evolution, Ecology and Behavior - Lecture 10

Explore the fascinating world of genomic conflict in this 48-minute lecture from Yale University's "Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior" course. Delve into the complex interactions between different genomic elements, including chromosomes and cytoplasmic organelles, when their interests are not aligned. Examine how these conflicts arise in various scenarios, from within cells to between organisms. Discover the evolutionary steps taken by sexual species to mitigate these conflicts, such as the fairness of meiosis and uniparental inheritance of cytoplasmic genomes. Learn about hierarchal selection, segregation distortion, reproductive conflicts, and their potential links to mental disorders. Gain insights into the evolutionary principles of conflict resolution in genomic systems. The lecture is structured into six chapters, covering introduction, hierarchal selection, segregation distortion, reproductive conflicts, mental disorders, and conflict resolution principles.
