AP Bio Chapter 23 Part 6 Flashcards
How do populations evolved via individuals
Individuals are selected
Differential survival reproductive traits
What is the hardy Weinberg equation in variables
p+q=1
p^2+2pq+q^2=1
How do populations evolve themselves?
The genetic makeup of a population changes over time
Fitness increases: favorable traits (greater fitness) become more
Biggest variation—->sexual recombination
Variation
The raw material for natural selection
Have to be differences, some more fit
Where does variation come from
Mutations-random DNA changes
Sexual recombination- mixing of genes, new arrangements in every offspring who inherit traits from their parents
Gene
Factor determines trait (it’s a section of a gene) ex. Eye color
Allele
A variant for a gene. Asexually reproducing have 2 alleles for a trait
Dominant
Any allele that will show a trait regardless of another allele
Recessive
An allele that will only show if both alleles are recessive
Homozygous
Any individual must have 2 copies of the same gene
Heterozygous
Any individual that has 1 dominant/recessive allele always showing dominant
Population
Localized group of interbreeding individuals
Gene pool
The collection of alleles in a population
Evolution
Change in the allele frequencies of a population
What are the 5 sources of evolution
Mutation Gene flow non random mating Genetic drift Natural selection
Mutation
Mutation creates variation
New mutations are always appearing
Mutations changes DNA sequence, changes amino acid sequence, changes protein structure and function, changes traits, changes fitness (maybe)
Gene flow
Movement of individuals and alleles in and out of populations
Examples of gene flow
Seed and pollen distribution by wind and insects
Migration of animals
What does gene flow reduce
Differences between population
What is gene flow doing well as a result of what
Gene flow in human populations is increasing today thanks to modern travel technology
Non random mating
Sexual selection
Genetic drift
Effect of chance events founder effect, bottleneck
Loss of alleles from a gene pool, reduces variation, reduces adaptability
Natural selection
Differential survival and reproduction due to changing environmental conditions
Combinations of alleles that provide “fitness” increase in a population
Adaptive evolutionary change
What is the null hypothesis in the hardy Weinberg equation
No change evolution
What does hardy Weinberg equation serve as
Preserves alleles frequencies
Serves as a model for comparison (null hypothesis)
Not in naturally occurring populations
What is the frequency of dominant alleles (B)
P
What is the frequency of recessive alleles (b)
q
What is the frequency of homozygous dominant alleles
P^2
Frequency of homozygous recessive
q^2
Frequency of heterozygous
2pq
