Replicator (other)
Replicator may refer to: Science * Replicator (evolution unit), the theoretical basic unit of evolution in the gene-centered view of evolution * Replicator (self-replication), a component that facilitates self-replication ** DNA replication, the process of producing two identical copies from one original DNA molecule * Replicator (nanotechnology), a device to precisely position molecules to guide chemical reactions * Clanking replicator, an artificial self-replicating system that relies on conventional large-scale technology and automation * Replicator equation, a deterministic monotone non-linear and non-innovative game dynamic used in evolutionary game theory * Replicator (cellular automaton) In cellular automata, a replicator is a pattern that produces copies of itself. In the one-dimensional Rule 90 cellular automaton, every pattern is a replicator. The same is true in the life-like cellular automaton rule Replicator (B1357/S135 ..., a pattern In military use * R ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Replicator (evolution Unit)
The gene-centered view of evolution, gene's eye view, gene selection theory, or selfish gene theory holds that adaptive evolution occurs through the differential survival of competing genes, increasing the allele frequency of those alleles whose phenotypic trait effects successfully promote their own propagation. The proponents of this viewpoint argue that, since heritable information is passed from generation to generation almost exclusively by DNA, natural selection and evolution are best considered from the perspective of genes. Proponents of the gene-centered viewpoint argue that it permits understanding of diverse phenomena such as altruism and intragenomic conflict that are otherwise difficult to explain from an organism-centered viewpoint. Some proponents claim that the gene-centered view is the aspect of evolutionary theory that is the most empirically validated, has the greatest predictive power, and has the broadest applicability. The gene-centered view of evoluti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
