Evolution
• Heritable genetic change in populations or groups of populations over time
• Changes in gene pool
![Page 3: Evolution Part 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681539b550346895dc19fd4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Evolution
• Also includes populations diverging from one another over time
may lead to new species
![Page 4: Evolution Part 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681539b550346895dc19fd4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Mechanisms of Evolution
• Genetic Drift– Population Bottlenecks– Founder Effect
• Gene Flow– Immigration– Emigration
• Mutations• Natural Selection
![Page 5: Evolution Part 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681539b550346895dc19fd4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Genetic Drift
• Changes in gene pool of populations due to random chance

Genetic Drift
• Genetic drift has a bigger effect on small populations.
![Page 9: Evolution Part 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681539b550346895dc19fd4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Bottleneck Effect
• Changes in gene pool of populations due to some event
drastically reduces population
![Page 10: Evolution Part 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681539b550346895dc19fd4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Bottleneck Effect
• Survival is random
• Whether an organism survives does not depend on any characteristic (allele)
![Page 11: Evolution Part 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681539b550346895dc19fd4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Example of Bottleneck Effect
• Population of plants on a mountain side
• An avalanche wipes out all but a patch of plants behind the shelter of a large outcrop.
![Page 12: Evolution Part 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681539b550346895dc19fd4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example of Bottleneck Effect
• Plants behind the outcrop survived only because they were out of the path of the avalanche.
• There was nothing about the plants’ genes that influenced survival.
![Page 13: Evolution Part 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681539b550346895dc19fd4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Example of Bottleneck Effect
• Surviving population has an allele frequency different from the original population.

Founder Effect
• New population established by very small number of individuals (“founders”)
• By chance, founder group has a different allele mix than original population

Gene Flow
• Movement of alleles between populations• Immigration: movement of alleles into a
population• Emigration: movement of alleles out of
population
![Page 26: Evolution Part 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681539b550346895dc19fd4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example of Gene Flow
• Transfer of pollen from one population of sunflowers into another population of sunflowers

Example of Gene Flow
• Male juvenile Belding’s ground squirrels emigrate from their birthing population to new populations.
• 40-70% emigrate as juveniles. Remaining males leave by the end of their first year.

Natural Selection
• Environment determines which genes are passed onto the next generation
• Based on which individuals successfully survive and reproduce
![Page 31: Evolution Part 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681539b550346895dc19fd4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Natural Selection
• Requires: – Genetic Variation– Overproduction of Offspring– Struggle for Existence– Differential Survival and Reproduction

Genetic Variation
• Organisms in the population vary in their characteristics
• Variations are heritable Passed from parents to offspring
![Page 34: Evolution Part 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681539b550346895dc19fd4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Artificial Selection
• Humans select which genes are passed onto the next generation
• Based on characteristics that humans find valuable or desirable

Types of Sexual Selection
• Mate Competition– One sex competes for access to the other
sex– Other sex always “chooses” winner
• Mate Choice– One sex chooses mate based on
characteristics of other sex
