 * **Inheritance is controlled by the expression of genes and their interaction with the environment.**
 * **Variation is the result of mutation and genetic recombination through sexual reproduction.**
 * **Most traits are controlled by complex patterns of inheritance.**
 * **The effects of mutations can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral and depend on environmental pressures.**
 * **Several factors including genetic drift and natural selection affect the relative frequencies of traits between populations.**
