• The gene pool is the total number of different alleles that exist for a population. • The gene pool is the total number of different alleles that exist for a population. • The processes of mutations, natural selection, migration, and genetic drift all affect the gene pool and change the frequency of the alleles in that gene pool. • The gene pool is the total number of different alleles that exist for a population. • The processes of mutations, natural selection, migration, and genetic drift all affect the gene pool and change the frequency of the alleles in that gene pool. • Genetic Change therefore refers to the change in frequency of alleles in the gene pool of a population. • The gene pool is the total number of different alleles that exist for a population. • The processes of mutations, natural selection, migration, and genetic drift all affect the gene pool and change the frequency of the alleles in that gene pool. • Genetic Change therefore refers to the change in frequency of alleles in the gene pool of a population. • Frequency of an allele in a population is given by the formula Frequency of an allele = occurrence of that allele total number of alleles • The gene pool is the total number of different alleles that exist for a population. • The processes of mutations, natural selection, migration, and genetic drift all affect the gene pool and change the frequency of the alleles in that gene pool. • Genetic Change therefore refers to the change in frequency of alleles in the gene pool of a population. • Frequency of an allele in a population is given by the formula Frequency of an allele = occurrence of that allele total number of alleles • The process in which new species develop from earlier forms. • The process in which new species develop from earlier forms. • Normally occurs slowly, most often in response to a change in a species’ environment. • The process in which new species develop from earlier forms. • Normally occurs slowly, most often in response to a change in a species’ environment. • Life is thought to have evolved from just a few unicellular organisms three billion years ago. • The process in which new species develop from earlier forms. • Normally occurs slowly, most often in response to a change in a species’ environment. • Life is thought to have evolved from just a few unicellular organisms three billion years ago. • Evolution happens through ‘changes in the frequency of alleles in a population’ – some alleles do better than others. • Darwin proposed the theory of Natural Selection more than 150 years ago. It remains the best explanation of adaptive evolution. • Darwin proposed the theory of Natural Selection more than 150 years ago. It remains the best explanation of adaptive evolution. • Populations typically produce more offspring than the environment resources can maintain; therefore there is competition for survival. • Darwin proposed the theory of Natural Selection more than 150 years ago.
