In the late 1960s it was proposed that at the molecular level most evolutionary changes are selectively “neutral,” meaning that they are due to genetic drift rather than to natural selection.

Of particular significance is the role of drift in the evolution of gene regulation that directly participates in morphological evolution.

According to the neutral theory of molecular evolution, the amount of genetic variation within a species should be proportional to the effective population size.

When assuming that silent mutations are neutral, a neutrality index greater than 1 (i.e. Because only a fraction of gametes are sampled in each generation of a species, the neutral theory suggests that a mutant allele can arise within a population and reach fixation by chance, rather than by selective advantage.[1].

Selectionists, on the other hand, contribute environmental conditions to be the major determinants of polymorphisms rather than structural and functional factors.[8]. This stochastic process is assumed to obey equations describing random genetic drift by means of accidents of sampling, rather than for example genetic hitchhiking of a neutral allele due to genetic linkage with non-neutral alleles. k The neutral theory allows for the possibility that most mutations are deleterious, but holds that becaus… Mid sixties biologists used electrophoresis to measure variability. When comparing various proteins, extremely high evolutionary rates were observed in proteins such as fibrinopeptides and the C chain of the proinsulin molecule, which both have little to no functionality compared to their active molecules.
