Part 2 Flashcards
DNA & mating
Variation is heritable
Giraffe long neck/short neck
Variation exists amongst individuals in a population
short neck can’t reach high trees & can starve
Survival & reproduction success is variable
Long neck can reach trees & eat more
Non random survival & reproduction
No evolutionary change
Assumptions
Random mating
mating by chance
No natural selection
all members contribute to number of gametes in a pool
No genetic drift
no changing of frequencies
No gene flow
all alleles from original populations gene pool
No mutation
no alleles
NOT an evolutionary process, but CAN change phenotype frequencies
Random mating
Inbreeding
Non-random mating
Assortative mating
non-random mating
Mating between close relatives
inbreeding
Preferential mating between those with some genotype + phenotype
Assortative mating
