Conditions of Hardy-weinberg
1.random mating 2. not net mutations 3.large populations size 4.no migration 5.no natural selection (opp of evolutionary change all 5 has to happen for proof of equilibrium)
28
microevolution
generation to generation changes in allele or genotype frequencies within a population
29
2 types of nonrandom mating
inbreeding (plants) assortative breeding ( sexual selection)
30
mutations can be
good,bad or harmless (neutral)
31
less variation decreases
chance to change (evolove) for survival
32
founder effect
small group from main species leave species (randomly) and starts " a new colony" (new habitat)
33
founder effect decreases
pop.size size of gene pool genetic variation
34
genetic drift meaning
occurs when a few individuals become isolated from a larger population, with the result that the new population's gene pool is not reflective of the original population
35
conservation biology
restoration of species..... needed if there is a loss of alleles reduced variation reduces adaptability because the population in the species is to small breeding programs must consciously outcross
36
bottleneck event is mainly caused by
natural events
37
bottleneck events are
random chance on which lives and which die but there are much less that are alive so a smaller population which leads to. smaller pop.size.gene pool,genetic variation
38
extinction vertex
downward spiral of population decline unique to small populations.
39
What is the key factor driving the extinction vortex?
the loss of genetic diversity necessary to enable evolutionary responses to environmental change most of the genes are to similar
40
people will put animals with a higher genetic variability because
it can increases adaptability and take away the vortex
41
gene flow
the movement of alleles between population through movement of individuals or gametes that incorporate into the next generation.
42
gene flow does not
always benefit pop. but it can at times
43
natural selection is
a blending of sorting and chanace
44
3 types of natural selection
stabilizing selection directional selection disruptive selection
45
stabilizing selection
intermediate phenotype (slide 24)
46
directional selection
1 extreme phenotype (slide 24)
47
disruptive selection
favors (both) phenotypic extremes
48
effects of selection
changes in the average trait of population
49
Genetic variation is necessary for
natural selection
50
sources of variation
mutations and sexual reproduction
51
two way ssexual reproduction affects variation
meiosis and random union of gametes
52
how does meiosis affect variation
crossing over independent assortment
53
balance polymorphism
an occurrence where different phenotypes are maintained at relatively stable frequencies in the population.
54
type of genetic polymorphism
presence in a population of 2+ alleles for given locus variation
55
2+ alleles persist in a population over many generations because
of natural selection
56
2 types of polymorphism
heterozygote advantage frequency-dependent selection
57
heterozygote advantage ex.
sickle cell
58
frequency-dependent solution example
more value then rule
59
heterozygous advantage Sickle cell example
Aa (cant get malaria but dont have sickle cell disease)
60
gene flow sickle cell ex.
sickle cell presist in malaria and gene flows when ppl travel
61
its and advantage to be
rare
62
rare and more value ex fish
if you have right mouth but most of them have left less comp. to eat of the right side of fish
63
neutral variation
variation that does not alter the ability of an individual to survive and reproduce so is not adaptive
