Evo-Devo has really changed how we think about genetics in some interesting ways:
Gene Interaction: Instead of focusing on one gene at a time, it looks at how genes work together during development.
Evolutionary Context: It connects developmental processes to evolution. This means that small changes in genes can lead to significant changes over time.
Phenotypic Plasticity: We’ve learned that the environment can affect how an organism develops. This adds more depth to what we know about genetics.
In short, Evo-Devo makes genetics feel more alive and connected!
