Chapter 23:The Evolution of Populations
![Page 2: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Population Genetics
• microevolution – change in genetic makeup of a population from generation to generation
![Page 3: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• macroevolution – evolutionary change above the species level
![Page 4: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
population – group of individuals of the same species living in the same
area
![Page 5: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
gene pool – all the genes in a given population at a given time
![Page 6: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
allele frequency – proportion of an allele in a gene pool
• p = dominant allele• q = recessive allele
f (p) = frequency of the dominant allelef (q) = frequency of the recessive allele
![Page 7: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Calculating allele frequency:
![Page 9: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Genotype # of Individuals Genotypic frequencies
MM 1787 MM = 1787/6129 = 29%
MN 3039 MN = 3039/6129 = 50%
NN 1303 NN = 1303/6129 = 21%
Total 6129

Hardy-Weinberg Theorem
• helps measure changes in allele frequencies over time
• provides an “ideal” population to use as a basis of comparison
![Page 11: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Conditions for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium:
• Large population• No gene flow• No mutations• Random mating• No natural selection
– hypothetical population that is not evolving– rarely met in nature
![Page 12: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mutation and sexual recombination only sources of new variations
• mutation – changes in nucleotide sequence in DNA
![Page 13: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• point mutations – change in one nucleotide
![Page 14: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• gene duplication – duplication of a chromosome segment
![Page 15: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
sexual recombination – crossing over, shuffling of genes during meiosis
![Page 16: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Genetic Drift – change in allele frequencies due to chance
• usually in smaller populations• reduces genetic variation
![Page 17: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
bottleneck effect –when a population has been dramatically reduced, and the gene pool is no longer reflective of the
original population’s
![Page 18: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Human actions can create a genetic bottleneck
![Page 19: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
founder effect – when a small number of individuals colonize a new area;
new gene pool not reflective of original population
![Page 20: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Fugate family Kentucky's Troublesome Creek

gene flow – when a population gains or loses alleles
• a movement of fertile individuals leaving/arriving
• – a reduces differences between populations
![Page 22: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
genetic variation – heritable variations in a population
![Page 23: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
discrete characteristics – are all one discrete variety
![Page 24: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
quantitative characteristics – vary along a continuum, usually due to
influence of two or more genes
![Page 25: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

average heterozygosity – measure of polymorphism in a population
![Page 27: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
geographic variation – difference in variation between population subgroups in different areas
![Page 28: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Evolutionary Fitness
• fitness – contribution an individual makes to the gene pool of the next generation, relative to the contributions of other individuals
(the more offspring that you have that survive = more fit you are)
![Page 30: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• relative fitness – fitness of a particular genotype
![Page 31: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Types of selection
• directional selection – shift toward a favorable variation
![Page 32: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• disruptive selection• – favors the extremes
![Page 33: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• stabilizing selection• – favors the mean
![Page 34: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Heterozygous Advantage – when individuals heterozygous
• Recessive allele is maintained in the population
![Page 35: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Example: sickle-cell anemia
prevelence of malaria sickle-cell disease
![Page 36: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Sexual selection– a natural selection for mating
success
![Page 37: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Sexual dimorphism – differences between the sexes in secondary sexual
characteristics
![Page 38: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Not necessarily better adaptations; example – mane on lion very hot, feathers on peacock very “expensive” to make
![Page 39: Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813f89550346895daa786b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Common misconceptions:
• Natural selection acts on phenotype, not genotype!
• Natural selection does not create more perfect organisms! (what is perfect in one environment may not be perfect in another)
