WLHS / Biology / Monson Name Date Per READING GUIDE: 17.1 – Genes and Variation (p. 482-486) 1) Define the following terms: ● gene pool: ● allele frequency: 2) Complete the following description: “Evolution, in genetic terms, involves a in a population over time.” 3) What are 3 sources of GENETIC VARIATION. Provide a brief description of each. a. b. c. 4) What are single gene traits? How many different phenotypes are possible with single gene traits? 5) What are polygenic traits? How many different phenotypes are possible with polygenic traits? 6) Examine the graph in Figure 17.5. What does the shape of the graph indicate about height in humans? 7) PREDICT: Suppose a dominant allele causes a plant disease that usually kills the plant before it can reproduce. Over time, what would probably happen to the frequency of that dominant allele in the population? READING GUIDE: 17.2 – Evolution as Genetic Change in Populations (p. 487-492) 1) How does natural selection affect single-gene traits? 2) Compare: directional, stabilizing, and disruptive selection. Provide an example of each. ● DIRECTIONAL SELECTION: example: ● STABILIZING SELECTION: example: ● DISRUPTIVE SELECTION: example: 3) Define GENETIC DRIFT: 4) How do the following lead to changes in a gene pool: ● BOTTLENECK EFFECT: ● FOUNDER EFFECT: 5) What is meant by “genetic equilibrium”? 6) What 5 conditions are necessary to maintain genetic equilibrium? 1. 4. 2. 5. 3. 7) Why is genetic equilibrium uncommon in actual populations in nature? 8) What is SEXUAL SELECTION? Give 2 examples of sexual selection:
