Deborah Charlesworth FRS FRSE (née Maltby; born 1943) is a population geneticist from the UK, notable for her important discoveries in population genetics and evolutionary biology. [3] [4] Her most notable research is in understanding the evolution of recombination, sex chromosomes and mating system for plants. [3]
She was interested in studying the evolution of maize through chromosomal changes, [58] and being in South America would allow her to work on a larger scale. McClintock explored the chromosomal, morphological, and evolutionary characteristics of various races of maize.
Nicole King (born 1970) is an American biologist and faculty member at the University of California, Berkeley in molecular and cell biology and integrative biology. [1] She was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2005. [2] She has been an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) since 2013.
John Maynard Smith (1920–2004), British evolutionary biologist and population geneticist; Ernst Mayr (1904–2005), German-born American evolutionary biologist; Phyllis McAlpine (1941–1998), Canadian human geneticist and gene mapper; Maclyn McCarty (1911–2005), US co-discoverer that DNA is the genetic material

By analysing descendants' DNA, however, parts of ancestral genomes are estimated by scientists. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA, the DNA located in mitochondria, different from the DNA in the nucleus of a cell) and Y-chromosome DNA are commonly used to trace ancestry in this manner. mtDNA is generally passed un-mixed from mothers to children of both ...
Evolutionary biology is the subfield of biology that studies the evolutionary processes (natural selection, common descent, speciation) that produced the diversity of life on Earth. It is also defined as the study of the history of life forms on Earth. Evolution holds that all species are related and gradually change over generations. [1]
