Population Dynamics vs Evolution
How can random events and migration impact population dynamics? Genetic Drift Bottleneck Effect Founder Effect Punctuated Equilibrium
Genetic Drift The change of genotype frequency in a small population due to some random event. Individuals die = Genes not passed on
Bottleneck Effect Major reduction in the size of a population due to environmental events Natural Disasters
Punctuated Equilibrium Rapid speciation occurs between long periods of time without a change.
Embryological Comparison Early embryo development shows common ancestry
