I. Genes & VariationA. Genetic Variation is Common
1. Many genes have at least 2 forms (alleles), some traits are controlled by multiple genes
2. Individual organisms are heterozygous for many genesB. Variation & Gene Pools
1. Population = group of individuals of the same species that interbreed
2. Gene pool = all the genes, including alleles, present in a population
3. Relative frequency = # of times an allele occurs in a gene pool
4. Evolution is any change in the relative frequency of alleles in a population
5. The more variation in a population the more likelihood some members of the species will survive if the environment changes

C. Single-gene & Polygenic Traits1. # of phenotypes produced for a trait depends on how many
genes control the trait
a. Single-gene trait = trait controlled by one gene only
1) Ex: widow’s peak

b. Polygenic trait = trait controlled by two or more genes
1) Ex: height

II. Evolution is Genetic ChangeA. Genetic Change
1. Populations, not individuals, evolve over time
2. Any change in allele frequency evolution
3. Three causes of genetic change in a populationa. Mutations – any change in the sequence of DNA
1) If a mutation changes an organism’s phenotype, ability to survive and reproduce may be affected
b. Natural selection
c. Chance events – allele frequency changing due to genetic drift or founder effect
![Page 9: Mechanisms of Evolution Chapter 16, 17.4, 32.3. Vocabulary 1.gene pool 2.relative frequency 3.single-gene trait 4.polygenic trait 5.directional selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d095503460f949db985/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
B. Types of Natural selection1. Directional selection = entire curve moves;
individuals at one end of the curve have higher fitness than individuals in the middle or at the other end
a. Ex: average beak size increases

2. Stabilizing selection = individuals near the center of the curve have higher fitness than individuals at either end of the curve
a. Ex: birth weight
DRAW

3. Disruptive selection = individuals near the upper and lower ends of the curve have higher fitness than individuals near the middle of the curvea. selection creates 2 distinct phenotypesb. ex: small and large beak types dominate
DRAW

C. Chance Events1. Genetic Drift = in small populations, individuals
that carry a particular allele may leave more descendants than other individuals, just by chance
a. over time, a series of chance occurrences can cause an allele to become more common in a population
b. Ex: a forest fire isolates a group of rodents in the remnants of the forest
2. Founder effect = situation in which allele frequencies change as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population
a. Ex: fruit flies in Hawaii
![Page 13: Mechanisms of Evolution Chapter 16, 17.4, 32.3. Vocabulary 1.gene pool 2.relative frequency 3.single-gene trait 4.polygenic trait 5.directional selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d095503460f949db985/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
D. Evolution vs. Genetic Equilibrium1. To figure out the factors that can cause a
population to evolve over time look at what happens when no change (no evolution) takes place
a. genetic equilibrium = allele frequencies remain constant
2. Hardy-Weinberg principle = allele frequencies in a population will remain constant unless a factor causes those frequencies to change
![Page 14: Mechanisms of Evolution Chapter 16, 17.4, 32.3. Vocabulary 1.gene pool 2.relative frequency 3.single-gene trait 4.polygenic trait 5.directional selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d095503460f949db985/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
III. SpeciationA. species = a group of similar organisms that can
interbreed to produce fertile offspringB. speciation = formation of a new species
C. Types of Reproductive Isolation 1. Behavioral isolation = 2 populations do not interbreed due
to differences in courtship or behaviora. Ex: Western and Eastern meadowlarks use different mating songs to
attract mates and so they do not interbreed
2. temporal isolation = 2 populations reproduce at different times
a. Ex: orchids that release their pollen on different days
![Page 15: Mechanisms of Evolution Chapter 16, 17.4, 32.3. Vocabulary 1.gene pool 2.relative frequency 3.single-gene trait 4.polygenic trait 5.directional selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d095503460f949db985/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3. Geographic isolation = 2 populations are separated by geographic barriers such as mountains or bodies of water so that they cannot interbreed
a. ex: Ensatina salamanders in mountains1) populations in the north breed2) slow evolutionary changes as you move south3) two southern species are too different to breed they are now
separate species
4. Anatomical isolation = 2 populations that physically can not reproduce due to their anatomy
1. Ex: chihuahua and great dane could be close to separate species

Ensatina salamanders in California exhibit subtle morphological and genetic differences all along their range. They all interbreed with their immediate neighbors with one exception: where the extreme ends of the range overlap in Southern California, E. klauberi and E. eschscholtzii do not interbreed.

IV. Patterns of EvolutionA. Extinction
1. More than 99 % of all species that have ever lived have gone extinct
2. Reasons: competition or environment changes
3. Effect of mass extinctions – disappearance of many species leaves habitats wide open providing opportunity for organisms that survived a. Ex: burst of the evolution of mammals
and birds after Cretaceous Period
B. Adaptive radiation1. Process by which a single species evolves
into several different species (ex: Galapagos finches)
![Page 18: Mechanisms of Evolution Chapter 16, 17.4, 32.3. Vocabulary 1.gene pool 2.relative frequency 3.single-gene trait 4.polygenic trait 5.directional selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d095503460f949db985/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
C. Convergent evolution1. Produces unrelated organisms that look similar
2. When organisms face similar environmental changes, natural selection favors adaptations that have similar functionsa. Dissimilar appendages with similar functions: flippers of a
dolphin, wings of a penguin, and fins of a shark
![Page 19: Mechanisms of Evolution Chapter 16, 17.4, 32.3. Vocabulary 1.gene pool 2.relative frequency 3.single-gene trait 4.polygenic trait 5.directional selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d095503460f949db985/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

D. Coevolution1. 2 species evolve in response to changes in each
other over timea. Ex: flower types only being able to reproduce if their
shape, color, and odor attracts the right type of pollinator

E. Punctuated equilibrium1. Darwin thought evolution was only slow,
gradual change (gradualism), but we now have evidence this is not always the case
2. Punctuated equilibrium = pattern of long, stable periods interrupted by brief periods of more rapid changea. Ex: surviving organisms evolving rapidly after
mass extinctions

F. Developmental genes & body plans
1. Genes for growth & differentiation during embryological development can produce transformations of body shape & size
2. Small changes to “control genes” can affect many other genes
a. Ex: if a control gene for insect wings is turned off in a body segment, the insect will have one less pair of wings

D. Continuing Homo sapien Evolution1. DNA evidence
a. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is passed from mother to child
b. Y chromosome is passed from father to sonc. Areas of both the Y chromosome and mtDNA get
occasional harmless mutations at a constant rates that are called “markers”1) We can calculate when and where a genetic marker
occurred 2) By comparing genetic markers to those of native
peoples today, it tells us when in time the mutation occurred and the migration patterns of hominids

2. Examples of recent evolutiona. Ex: Skin color

2) light skin more easily absorbs UV rays needed to produce vitamin D
3) advantageous where sunlight is limited
