Macro evolution
Evolutionary change at or above the species level example speciation, mass extinctions
Micro evolution
Evolutionary change lo the species level change in allele frequency’s in population over generations
Gregor Mendel
Developed particulate model of inheritance
Alleles
Any of the alternative versions of a gene that may produce distinguishable phenotype affects
Gamete arises from
Meiosis
Mendels first law
Alleles segregate during gamete formation
Mendel’s second law
Alleles for each trait a sort independently
Population genetics
Variation within populations
Gene pool
The aggregate of all copies of every type of allele at all loci in every individual in a population
Allele frequency
Proportion of an allele in a population
Hardy Weinberg equation
Allele frequency‘s P + q= 1
Genotype frequencies
P^2 +2pq + q^2
Hardy Weinberg theory
Describes a population of breeding individuals
Breeding does not change the frequency of genes in a population
The gene pool changes over time due to differential survivorship
Assumptions of Hardy Weinberg theorem
Population is very large Population is isolated Mutation do not occur Mating is random Natural selection does not occur
Cause of micro evolution
Genetic drift Gene flow Mutations Non-random meeting Natural selection
If any of microevolution happen what doesn’t exist
Hardy Weinberg theorem
Genetic drift
Genetic drift chance events cause allele frequency’s to change
