Evolutionary developmental biology

the theory that conserved core cellular processes, linked by weak regulatory connections, make it easy for random mutation to yield viable and useful phenotypic variation.

In evolutionary developmental biology, facilitated variation refers to the theory that conserved core cellular processes, linked by weak regulatory connections, make it easy for random mutation to yield viable and useful phenotypic variation. This meaning comes from Gerhart (2007) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]
