3.  The change of populations of organisms over generations.  The process by which all organisms have developed from older forms of life  Old species go extinct (mass extinction) and new species arise. DAY 1-2

4.  A group of organisms similar in structure and heredity capable of producing fertile offspring  *breeding within the species…always exceptions to every rule…  Examples?

5. ARISTOTLE~335 BC Species change over time, moving toward a “perfect state”. LAMARCK 1744-1829 FIRST to clearly state:  Types of organisms changed over time because of natural phenomenon not divine force.  New species were modified descendants of older species.

6.  “OUT”/ Discredited Ideas…. Theory of Need: a change in the environment produced a need for change in organisms 1. Use and Disuse If organs were used- they remained, if unused, they would disappear. “Use it or Lose It”….all inheritable changes 2. Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics Not determined by heredity; ‘acquired traits’ are acquired in ones lifetime in response to ones experience or behavior.

7. THEORY OF NATURAL SELECTION Organisms with traits more favorable to a particular environment are more likely to pass on those traits to their offspring. *Environment plays a key role. (HW Ch 18)

11. 1. VARIATIONS exist in individuals within a species (caused by mutations/genetic recombination). Those with favorable variations have an advantage for survival. Live Longer > Produce more offspring > Genes passed on 2. OVERPRODUCTION of offspring: More offspring are produced than can survive, but the population remains fairly constant. 3. STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE: Competition for food, space, mates (limiting factors). 4. NATURAL SELECTION –the best adapted are ‘selected’. Survival of the Fittest = best suited for the environment Darwin’s Fittest = Differential Reproductive Success *HW Ch 18

12. DESCENT OF MODIFICATION: Similarities in related species are due to common ancestry Idea of ‘common descent’ was inspired by BIOGEOGRAPHY (geographical distribution of species) Natural Selection favors Reproductive Success of certain individuals over others in a population. Individuals do not evolve, populations do

13. CAN ALSO BE DEFINED AS:  Any change in the frequency of alleles from one generation to another.  A change in the gene pool* of a population over time.  A change in frequencies of alleles in the gene pool* of a population….gene pool? Ch 19 -text Gene pool: the set of all genes, or genetic information, in any population, usually of a particular species.

15.  The study of genetic variability within a population and the evolutionary forces that act on it.  Distinguishes genetic equilibrium* from evolutionary change (*relates to the HARDY-WIENBERG PRINCIPLE; ‘population is at equilibrium’)

16. 1. Genetic Drift – due to chance; relates to size of the population; causes a decrease in variation within the population; Ex- Bottleneck effect; founder effect 2. Gene Flow – relates to isolation; increases variation within a population; Ex- Immigration/Emigration 3. Mutation – substitution of alleles 4. Non-random mating – Ex- Inbreeding (self- pollinating plants); assortive mating (like:like) 5. Natural Selection – differential success in reproduction; only cause likely to be adaptive. (Pop. Genetics Handout, slides) *(These are the ANTITHESIS of H-W conditions)

19. Essentially, went from Punnett Square/Mendelian predictions of the probability of specific offspring genotypes based on parental genotypes to determining expected allelic frequencies for entire populations. This definition of evolution was developed largely as a result of independent work in the early 20th century by Godfrey Hardy, an English mathematician, and Wilhelm Weinberg, a German physician. Through mathematical modeling based on probability, they concluded in 1908 that gene pool frequencies are inherently stable but that evolution should be expected in all populations virtually all of the time. They resolved this apparent paradox by analyzing the net effects of potential evolutionary mechanisms. Hardy 1877-1947 Weinberg 1862-1937  The mathematical prediction that allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation in a large population in the absence of micro- evolutionary processes (mutation, genetic drift, etc.)  Does NOT exist in nature, however, provides:  A means to calculate allelic frequencies  A baseline for comparison (non-evolving population to an evolving population)

20. 1. We have a very large population size 2. Isolation from other populations exists (no emigration/immigration) 3. There are no net mutations 4. There is random mating; all breed and produce the same number of offspring 5. There is no natural selection (Handout)

21. HW formula on the AP Equations Handout p + q = 1 p (dom trait) + q (rec) = 1 (p + q) 2 = p 2 + 2pq +q 2 = 1 WHERE: In a population…. p = freq of the Dominant allele q = freq of the Recessive allele p 2 = freq of individual AA q 2 = freq of individual aa 2pq = freq of individual Aa Diagram of Hardy-Weinberg genotype proportions from male (sperm) and female (egg) contributions. Given a locus with two alleles designated A and a that occur with frequencies p and q, the chart shows the genotype frequencies (p 2, 2pq, and q 2 ) as differently colored areas. Note that the heterozygotes (blue + yellow = green) can be formed in two different ways.

22. Albinism is a rare genetically inherited trait that is only expressed in the phenotype of homozygous recessive individuals (aa). The most characteristic symptom is a marked deficiency in the skin and hair pigment melanin. This condition can occur among any human group as well as among other animal species. The average human frequency of albinism in North America is only about 1 in 20,000. What have we been given?: Referring back to the Hardy-Weinberg equation (p² + 2pq + q² = 1), the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals (aa) in a population is q². Therefore, in North America the following must be true for albinism: q² = 1/20,000 =.0005 What can we find out from this information? By taking the square root of both sides of this equation, we get: (rounded off) q =.007 In other words, the frequency of the recessive albinism allele (a) is.00707 or ~1 in 140. With this information, what can we solve for? Knowing one of the two variables (q) in the Hardy-Weinberg equation, it is easy to solve for the other (p). P = 1 – q = 1 -.007 =.993 The frequency of the dominant, normal allele (A) is, therefore,.99293 or about 99 in 100. How can we use this information to determine genotypic frequencies? The next step is to plug the frequencies of p and q into the Hardy-Weinberg equation: p² + 2pq + q² = 1 (.993)² + 2 (.993)(.007) + (.007)² = 1.986 +.014 +.00005 = 1 p² (AA) = 98.6% No ‘a’ allele 2pq (Aa) = 1.4% carriers q² (aa) =.005% Albinos
