Simulating Evolutionary
Processes with Poker Chips:
Description
In this lesson, students use colored discs to simulate changes in population allele frequencies that occur due to
evolutionary processes. They first show that allele frequencies do not change when only random mating occurs in a
population. Then they demonstrate the effects of natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutation on
population allele frequencies.
