| Research Abstract |
Organic evolutions are caused by natural selections act on phenotypes based on genetic bases. In general, it has been considered that the sources of these mutations are purely genetic process in chromosomes and DNAs. I pointed out that the evolution might occur by the behavioral trait of the animal regulated by the genetic basis which might change the transmission of the chromosome. I also established basic facilities and technology to explore the possibilities.
