Q

What does inbreeding do to alleles

A

Homozygosity of alleles increase but heterozygosity of alleles decrease

Result in less fitness and recessive alleles will represent loss of function in an organism

Q

Define mutation

A

Any permanent change in the hereditary material of an organism and is the only source of new alleles in a population and modifies allele frequencies by continually introducing new alleles

Q

Does a mutation occur by chance?

A

Yes, and only by chance

21
Q

what is the ultimate source of genetic variation ?

A

Mutations

22
Q

Are mutations random?

A

Yes

23
Q

Does genetic drift decrease genetic diversity?

A

Yes, over time

24
Q

Does gene flow increase genetic diversity? Is there any exceptions?

A

Yes it does, but it can also decrease variation of the source of population if alleles leave with the moving population

25
Q

Define point mutation

A

Before chromosome level mutation

26
Q

Key points of genetic drift

A
  • Genetic drift is random with respect to fitness
  • genetic drift is most pronounced in small populations
  • overtime genetic daft can lead to the random loss or fixation of alleles
27
Q

Define sexual dimorphism

A

Refers to any trait that differs between males and females of same species include:

-Weaponry deer ex antlers on males

  • ornamentation and behavior in courtship ex
    peacocks colorful male feathers
  • body size
28
Q

What is heterozygote advantage?

A

Pattern of natural selection that favors heterozygous individuals compared to homozygous individuals.

Promotes genetic variation forming balancing selection

29
Q

Define deleterious alleles

A

Allele that reduces an individuals fitness

30
Q

What does inbreeding increase?

A

Homozygosity which makes offspring have lower fitness

31
Q

The assumptions of the Hardy- Weinberg principle

A
  1. Random mating- no mate choice; gametes combine randomly
  2. No natural selection- all individuals contribute equally to gene pool
  3. No genetic drift- random allele frequency changes)
  4. No gene flow - no new alleles added or lost from gene pool
  5. No mutations - no new alleles introduced into gene pool
32
Q

Define gene pool

A

alleles from all gametes and each generation go into a single group then combine randomly This concept was first brought up by Hardy and Weinberg

33
Q

What four processes is known to drive evolution?

A
  1. natural selection
  2. Genetic drift
  3. Gene flow
  4. Mutation
34
Q

Alleles that reach a frequency of 1.0 are said to be

A

Fixed

35
Q

Deleterious alleles are said to be

A

Lost at a 0.0

36
Q

Natural selection

A

Increases the frequency of alleles that contribute to reproductive success in a particular environment

37
Q

Genetic drift

A

causes allele frequencies to change randomly

38
Q

The 5 important assumptions of the hardy Weinberg principle

A
  1. Random mating- no mate Choice gametes combine randomly
  2.  No natural selections- all individuals contribute equally to gene pool
  3. No genetic drift - (random allele frequency changes) - alleles not picked by chance because it assumes population is large
  4. No gene flow - no new alleles added or lost from gene pool
  5. No mutations- no new alleles introduced into gene pool
39
Q

Given a population Of 100 individuals where 15 AAand 25 Aa and 60 aa what is the frequency of allele “A” and the frequency of alleles ”a”

A
40
Q

The Hardy Weinberg equation

A

P^2+2pq+q^2=1

41
Q

4 processes of evolution

A

Natural selection

Genetic drift

Gene flow

Mutation

42
Q

Natural selection

A

Increases the frequency of alleles that contribute to reproductive success in a environment

43
Q

Genetic drift

A

Causes allele frequencies to change randomly

Can lead to random loss or fixation of alleles

Thy can result to decrease in genetic variation

44
Q

Gene flow

A

Occurs when individuals leave one pop., join another, and breed

45
Q

Mutation

A

Modifies allele frequencies by continually introducing new alleles

46
Q

Natural selection occurs in what 4 patterns?

A
  1. Directional selection
  2. Stabilizing selection

3.disruptive selection

  1. Balancing selection
47
Q
A
48
Q

4 processes of evolution

A
  1. Natural selection
  2. Genetic drift
  3. Gene flow
  4. Mutation
