1 Describe how evolution can be thought of as both a fact and a theory.
WARM UP Describe how evolution can be thought of as both a fact and a theory.

2 Gene Flow and Genetic Drift

3 Population Microevolution
Individuals don’t evolve, populations do Small changes in gene frequency Can occur through gene flow or genetic drift

4 Gene Flow Migration can quickly change gene/trait frequency
Especially in smaller populations

5 Genetic Drift Random chance can cause some genes/traits to disappear
Especially in small populations

6 Genetic Drift Bottleneck Severe drop in population
Leaves a small sample of traits (good or bad) Inbreeding

7 Genetic Drift Bottleneck

8 Genetic Drift Founder effect A migratory bottleneck
A few organisms start a new population Inbreeding

9 WRAP UP Compare and contrast gene flow and genetic drift.

10 WARM UP Explain how the terms microevolution and population evolution are related.

11 WRAP UP Compare and contrast bottlenecks and the founder effect.
