Encyclopedia > Evolvability

Evolvability is a concept in that relates ability of a particular phenotype to be robust to mutations. It can be more precisely defined as the relative frequency of "good" mutations to a phenotype. Evolvability is thought to be determined primarily by the structure of the genotype to phenotype mapping (i.e. the organism's developmental system).

Evolvability Theory of Aging (936 words)
This is a brief overview of the evolvability theory of aging.
The evolvability theory therefore proposes that there is an additional factor in determining whether a characteristic is evolved and retained in an organism’s genome, namely evolvability.
The evolvability theory is one of several new or resurgent theories that hold that aging is an evolved characteristic, an adaptation, and a design feature of organisms, rather than a defect, disorder, or fundamental property of life.
