1. Hardy-Weinberg Genetic Equilibrium  Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes populations that are not evolving  Genotype frequencies stay the same over time as long as certain conditions are met:  Very large populations  No emigration or immigration  No mutations  Random mating  No natural selection

2. DISRUPTING GENETIC EQUILIBRIUM Ch. 16-2 pp. 321-325

3. Definitions..  Evolution is the change in a population’s genetic material (alleles) over generations.

4. Definitions..  Evolution is the change in a population’s genetic material (alleles) over generations.  A population is in genetic equilibrium if it’s not evolving

5. WHAT PUSHES A POPULATION OUT OF EQUILIBRIUM? 5 Factors Population is in equilibrium

6. I. Mutation  Produces and introduces new alleles in a population

7. II. Migration/ Gene Flow  Movement of individuals in or out of a population  Immigration – In (Entering population)  Emigration – Out (Leaving population)

8. III. Genetic Drift  The amount of an allele changes due to random events Population of the nearly extinct northern Elephant Seal have lost genetic variability—individuals are homozygous for all their genes tested. This result of genetic drift makes the species vulnerable to extinction.

9. III. Genetic Drift  The amount of an allele changes due to random events  Affects small populations mostly Population of the nearly extinct northern Elephant Seal have lost genetic variability—individuals are homozygous for all their genes tested. This result of genetic drift makes the species vulnerable to extinction.

10. III. Genetic Drift  The amount of an allele changes due to random events  Affects small populations mostly  Lose alleles if not enough to mate or a catastrophe occurs  EX: tornado, disease, hurricane etc. Population of the nearly extinct northern Elephant Seal have lost genetic variability—individuals are homozygous for all their genes tested. This result of genetic drift makes the species vulnerable to extinction.

11. IV. Natural Selection (3 Types)  Organisms best suited to their environment live to reproduce and pass on their genes

12. IV. Natural Selection (3 Types)  Organisms best suited to their environment live to reproduce and pass on their genes  Acts on a phenotype

13. IV. Natural Selection (3 Types)  Organisms best suited to their environment live to reproduce and pass on their genes  Acts on a phenotype  Varying types of selection

14. 1. Directional Selection Individuals with a more extreme form of trait have higher fitness Normal Distribution Distribution after Selection Suppose termites in an area begin to build deeper nests. Anteaters with long tongues could more effectively prey on termites than those with short or average tongue length

15. 2. Stabilizing Selection Having average form of trait has highest fitness Normal Distribution Distribution after Selection Blue curve shoes variation after a new predator is introduced. Predator can easilty capture the large, visible lizards and the small slower lizards. Thus, selection against these extremes body types reduces the size range in lizards

16. 3. Disruptive Selection Individuals with any extreme trait has a higher fitness and most likely results in two new species Normal Distribution Distribution after Selection The white limpets blend in with barnacles on rocks. On bare rocks, dark- shelled limpets blend in. However, the tan colored limpets are easy to spot by birds.

17.  Can amplify certain traits and reduce others through sexual selection V. Non-random mating

18.  Can amplify certain traits and reduce others through sexual selection  Sexual Selection - Choose mates based on specific traits and those traits increase in the population V. Non-random mating
