1. When Darwin developed his theory of evolution, he did not understand: how heredity worked. This left him unable to explain two things: a. source of variation b. how inheritable traits pass from one generation to the next

In the 1940’s, Mendel’s work on genetics was “rediscovered” and scientists began to combine the ideas of many branches of biology to develop a modern theory of evolution. When studying evolution today, biologists often focus on a particular population. This evolution of populations is called microevolution.

2. Vocabulary: population: group of individuals of the same species living in the same area that breed with each other.

2. gene pool: combined genetic info. for all members of a population

2. allele: one form of a gene

2. relative frequency of an allele: # times an allele occurs in the gene pool compared to other alleles (percent) Example Relative Frequency: 70% Allele B 30% Allele b

3. Sources of Variation: a. mutations: any change in DNA sequence ♦ Can occur because of: ♦mistakes in replication ♦ environmental chemicals ♦ May or may not affect an organism’s phenotype

3. Sources of Variation b. Gene Shuffling: recombination of genes that occurs during production of gametes ♦ Cause most inheritable differences between relatives ♦ Occurs during meiosis ♦ As a result, sexual reproduction is a major source of variation in organisms. ♦ Despite gene shuffling, the frequency of alleles does not change in a population. Explain why this is true. Similar to a deck of cards – no matter how many times you shuffle, same cards (alleles) are always there.

4. Gene Traits: A) Single gene trait: controlled by single gene with two alleles ♦ Examples: widow’s peak, hitchhiker’s thumb, tongue rolling

(4. Gene Traits:) B) Polygenic trait: controlled by 2 or more genes, each with 2 or more alleles ♦ Examples: height, hair color, skin color, eye color Most human traits are polygenic.

Do the following graphs show the distribution of phenotypes for single-gene or polygenic traits? Explain. type: single gene why? Only two phenotypes possible Example: tongue roller or non-tongue roller type: polygenic why? Multiple (many) phenotypes possible Example: height range 4feet to 9 feet all

5. Natural selection acts on phenotypes, not genotypes. Example: in a forest covered in brown leaves, dirt and rocks which mouse will survive better brown or white? Brown, more hidden.

5. If brown is dominant can the a predator tell the difference between: Mouse with highest fitness will have the most alleles passed on to the next generation. White mouse will have low fitness BB Bb ?

5. Which mouse will have the lowest fitness? White, bb (recessive) Will the fitness of BB and Bb differ? Why? No, Both BB and Bb have the same fitness advantage of being brown BB Bb ?

6. Three ways in which natural selection affects polygenic traits.

a. Directional Selection: individuals at one end of the curve have higher fitness so evolution causes increase in individuals with that trait ♦ Individuals with highest fitness: those at one end of the curve ♦ Example: Galapagos finches – beak size Food becomes scarce. Key Low mortality, high fitness High mortality, low fitness

Food becomes scarce. Key Low mortality, high fitness High mortality, low fitness Directional Selection

b. Stabilizing Selection: individuals at the center of the curve have highest fitness; evolution keeps center in the same position but narrows the curve Key Percentage of Population Birth Weight Selection against both extremes keep curve narrow and in same place. Low mortality, high fitness High mortality, low fitness Stabilizing Selection Individuals with highest fitness: near the center of the curve (average phenotype) Example: human birth weight

Key Percentage of Population Birth Weight Selection against both extremes keep curve narrow and in same place. Low mortality, high fitness High mortality, low fitness Stabilizing Selection

c. Disruptive Selection: individuals at both ends of the curve survive better than the middle of the curve. ♦ Individuals with highest fitness: both ends of curve ♦ Example: birds where seeds are either large or small Disruptive Selection Largest and smallest seeds become more common. Number of Birds in Population Beak Size Population splits into two subgroups specializing in different seeds. Beak Size Number of Birds in Population Key Low mortality, high fitness High mortality, low fitness

Disruptive Selection Largest and smallest seeds become more common. Number of Birds in Population Beak Size Population splits into two subgroups specializing in different seeds. Beak Size Number of Birds in Population Key Low mortality, high fitness High mortality, low fitness

 Evolution review ½ sheet. (yes some questions are missing)  Thursday and Friday’s concepts will be on the quiz:  Directional, Stabilizing and Disruptive selection.  Geographic, Behavioral, Temporal Isolation  Small populations caused by bottleneck and founder effect

 The formation of new biological species, usually by the division of a single species into two or more genetically distinct one.

1. Geographic Isolation 2. Behavioral Isolation 3. Temporal Isolation

 Two populations separated by a geographic barrier; river, lake, canyon, mountain range.

 Kaibab Squirrel Abert Squirrel

 Two populations are capable of interbreeding but do not interbreed because they have different ‘courtship rituals’ or other lifestyle habits that differ.

 Eastern and Western Meadowlark populations overlap in the middle of the US

 Male birds sing a matting song that females like, East and West have different songs. Females only respond to their subspecies song.

Populations reproduce at different times January

 Mates in: Mates in: April July

 Geographic, Behavioral and Temporal Isolation are all believed to lead to speciation.

 No examples ever observed in animals  A couple examples that may demonstrate speciation exist in plants and some insects.

 random change in allele frequency that occurs in small populations

The results of genetic crosses can usually be predicted using the laws of probability. In small populations, however, these predictions are not always accurate. a. Founder effect: allele frequencies change due to migration of a small subgroup of a population ♦ Example: fruit flies on Hawaiian islands

1. Founder Effect 2. Bottleneck Effect

allele frequencies change due to migration of a small subgroup of a population

Sample of Original Population Founding Population A Founding Population B Descendants Fruit Flies on Hawaiian islands Founder Effect: : Fruit Flies on Hawaiian islands

major change in allele frequencies when population decreases dramatically due to catastrophe ♦ Example: northern elephant seals decreased to 20 individuals in 1800’s, now 30,000 no genetic variation in 24 genes

♦ Hunted to near extintion ♦ Population decreased to 20 individuals in 1800’s, those 20 repopulated so today’s population is ~30,000 ♦ No genetic variation in 24 genes
