Ch 20 Flashcards
Variation is inherited
Darwin
Different alleles will produce different version of enzyme when sorting using gel electrophoresis
Enzyme polymorphism
Actual gene is sequenced directly
DNA sequence polymorphism
Hardy Weinberg
Large population Random mating No mutation No gene flow No natural selection
Changes in the genetic sequence of a gene
Mutation
Exchange of genes between populations, organisms moving in or leaving
Gene flow
Inbreeding
Non random mating
Random changes in a small population, founder effect & bottleneck
Genetic drift
Changes in allele frequencies because not all individuals survive and reproduce
Selection
More common form is selected against
Frequency dependent selection
Changing conditions select for different times, wet/dry climate
Oscillating selection
Heterozygous individual has higher survival rate, sickle cell
Heterozygous advantage
This occurs when individuals at both extremes are favored over mean individuals
Disruptive selection
Acquired traits
Lamarck
