TYPES OF NATURAL SELECTION DEFINITIONS.. • Evolution is the change in a population’s genetic material (alleles) over generations. 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 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. • If the population’s allele frequencies stay the same year to year then it’s not evolving. HARDY-WEINBERG GENETIC EQUILIBRIUM • Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes populations that are not evolving 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: 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 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 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 2. STABILIZING SELECTION • Having average form of trait has highest fitness 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 Normal Distribution Distribution after Selection 3. DISRUPTIVE SELECTION • Individuals with any extreme trait has a higher fitness and most likely results in two new species • Divergent Evolution The white limpets blend in with barnacles on rocks. On bare rocks, darkshelled limpets blend in. However, the tan colored limpets are easy to spot by birds. Normal Distribution Distribution after Selection
