Chapter 16
Variation of Traits Within a Population, continued
Causes of Variation
Traits vary and can be mapped along a bell curve, which shows that most individuals have average traits, whereas a few individuals have extreme traits.
Variations in genotype arise by mutation, recombination, and the random pairing of gametes.

7. Section 1 Genetic Equilibrium
Chapter 16
The Gene Pool
The total genetic information available in a population is called the gene pool.

8. The Gene Pool, continued
Section 1 Genetic Equilibrium
Chapter 16
The Gene Pool, continued
Allele frequency is determined by dividing the total number of a certain allele by the total number of alleles of all types in the population.

Predicting Phenotype
Phenotype frequency is equal to the number of individuals with a particular phenotype divided by the total number of individuals in the population.

10. The Hardy-Weinberg Genetic Equilibrium
Section 1 Genetic Equilibrium
Chapter 16
The Hardy-Weinberg Genetic Equilibrium
Allele frequencies in the gene pool do not change unless acted upon by certain forces.
Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium is a theoretical model of a population in which no evolution occurs and the gene pool of the population is stable.

Phenotype Frequency

12. Chapter 16 Objectives Section 2 Disruption of Genetic Equilibrium
List five conditions under which evolution may take place.
Explain how migration can affect the genetics of populations.
Explain how genetic drift can affect populations of different sizes.
Contrast the effects of stabilizing selection, directional selection, and disruptive selection on populations over time.
Identify examples of nonrandom mating.

13. Section 2 Disruption of Genetic Equilibrium
Chapter 16
Mutation
Evolution may take place when populations are subject to genetic mutations, gene flow, genetic drift, nonrandom mating, or natural selection.
Mutations are changes in the DNA.

14. Section 2 Disruption of Genetic Equilibrium
Chapter 16
Gene Flow
Emigration and immigration cause gene flow between populations and can thus affect gene frequencies.

15. Section 2 Disruption of Genetic Equilibrium
Chapter 16
Genetic Drift
Genetic drift is a change in allele frequencies due to random events.
Genetic drift operates most strongly in small populations.

16. Chapter 16 Nonrandom Mating
Section 2 Disruption of Genetic Equilibrium
Chapter 16
Nonrandom Mating
Mating is nonrandom whenever individuals may choose partners.

Sexual Selection
Sexual selection occurs when certain traits increase an individual’s success at mating.
Sexual selection explains the development of traits that improve reproductive success but that may harm the individual.

18. Chapter 16 Natural Selection
Section 2 Disruption of Genetic Equilibrium
Chapter 16
Natural Selection
Natural selection can influence evolution in one of three general patterns.

23. Chapter 16 Objectives Section 3 Formation of Species
Relate the biological species concept to the modern definition of species.
Explain how the isolation of populations can lead to speciation.
Compare two kinds of isolation and the pattern of speciation associated with each.
Contrast the model of punctuated equilibrium with the model of gradual change.

24. Chapter 16 The Concept of Species
Section 3 Formation of Species
Chapter 16
The Concept of Species
According to the biological species concept, a species is a population of organisms that can successfully interbreed but cannot breed with other groups.

25. Isolation and Speciation
Section 3 Formation of Species
Chapter 16
Isolation and Speciation
Geographic Isolation
Geographic isolation results from the separation of population subgroups by geographic barriers.

Sympatric Speciation
Reproductive isolation within the same geographic area is known as sympatric speciation.

31. Chapter 16 Rates of Speciation
Section 3 Formation of Species
Chapter 16
Rates of Speciation
In the gradual model of speciation (gradualism), species undergo small changes at a constant rate.
Under punctuated equilibrium, new species arise abruptly, differ greatly from their ancestors, and then change little over long periods.

Explain the difference between reproductive isolation and geographic isolation.
Answer:
Reproductive isolation results from the separation of population subgroups by
barriers that prevent breeding. Geographic isolation results from the separation
of population subgroups by only geographic barriers.

Extended Response
The phrase Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium
refers to the frequency of genotypes in populations from generation to generation.
Part A Briefly describe what this model predicts about genotype frequencies.
Part B What are the set of assumptions that must be met for the Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium to be valid?

50. Extended Response, continued

Extended Response, continued
Answer:
Part A The allele and genotype frequencies will stay the same from generation to generation unless acted upon by an outside influence.
Part B In order for the Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium to be valid five conditions must be met: no mutations; there is no gene flow; the population is large; individuals mate randomly; and selection does not occur.
