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
Founders affect
Breeding pair migrate to a new area and found a new population who’s gene pool composition is not reflective of that of the original population
Bottleneck affect
Catastrophic kills majority of population typically the surviving population is no longer genetically representative of the original population
Gene flow
Related to movement in or out of population
Alleles are gained or lost by this mechanism what are they
Immigration
Emigration
Mutation
Random change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA
Example Amish inbreeding is the isolated community causing recessive traits is now common
Gene duplication
Generate multiple copies of the same gene
Nonrandom mating
Sexual selection the female pics made from characteristics
