1. Mechanisms of evolution poster

2. You will be working in Pairs
A’s and B’s will be creating a poster on BottleNeck Effect
C’s and D’s will be creating a poster on Founder Effect

3. To start out…
You will use beetles for your poster. Your initial population must include
10 homozygous dominant individuals
7 heterozygous individuals
3 Homozygous recessive individuals
The dominant trait is Blue body color
The recessive trait is orange/red body color

4. What needs to be on the poster?
Name of the type of genetic drift
Must show initial population
Draw and color all the beetles
Must include labeling alleles for each beetle
The bottle neck or founder effect event
For example: show the earthquake
The new population

5. Once you finish the poster
Now write a story explaining what is happening on your poster
Calculate the allele frequency for the initial population
Calculate the allele frequency for the final population
Has your population evolved? How do you know?
