Population Genetics- When Darwin Met Mendel: Biology #18
Videos By Paul Anderson:
“Genetic Drift”
“Evolution Continues”
Questions to answer:
1. Explain what the “modern synthesis” is. How is it different from Darwin’s original theory of
evolution?
2. Why does evolution have to involve the change of the genetic makeup of a population over time?
3. Explain each of the following modes of evolution in a population. For each one, describe the
cause of change in the genetic makeup of a population and how the population evolves as a result
of that change, and provide 1 “real world” examples of the process in action:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Natural Selection
Genetic Drift
Gene Flow
Sexual Selection
1. Why is evolution an emergent property of populations of organisms? Why are individuals unable
to evolve?
2. Compare the effects of disruptive, directional and stabilizing selection on the genetic makeup of a
population.
3. Why do traits have to be heritable for evolution to affect them?
