Document Summary

Lecture 20 groups and populations same species in deined geographical are". Can be social (pos or neg), indirect (sharing common resource) or accidental (random chance) Play certain role in understanding of factors that shape and drive diversity of life. Populations; composiion and structure will be inluenced by life history, mobility and habitat. Land and water sessile (immobile) and moile (mobile) Modular oragnisms include corals, hydra sp. (cnidarian), worms. Addition of modules tends to lead to a branched form. Removal of modules may harm an organism but not kill it. Natural cloning arises when a genet fragments and the ramets establish into physiologically independent parts. Understand temporal dynamics of populaions e. g links beteween cat species and hares up and down where predator eats more prey and eaing down resoources. Understand spaial distribuion of pops e. g eucalyptus. Natural selecion occurs within pops e. g depends on variaion of species. Pops change in num over ime- can be posiive or negaive.

evolution

Evolution is change over ____________. Why is evolution an important concept in biology?

What is a population? How can you identify a population in nature?

What is the ultimate source of random variation in a population? Is this the only source of variation, why or why not?

What is a gene pool? Why is it important to our study of evolution?

How is variation inherited in a population? HINT: There are at least two main contributors to this variation. You should be focusing on gametes!

What is microevolution versus macroevolution?

How do the peppered moths show us microevolution in nature? Why is this NOT macroevolution? HINT: you should consider alleles and mating in your answer.

Do you believe that the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is common in nature? Why or why not? In your answer, you should incorporate your knowledge of populations, evolution, and genetics.

Evolution is driven by adaptation and natural selection. In populations, we refer to organisms that are âmost fit.â Explain how evolution and the environment would result in organisms that are âmost fit.â In your answer, indicate whether the âmost fitâ organism today is likely to be the âmost fitâ organism in the future and why.

Microevolution is a change in the frequency of ___________________ in a population but has not resulted in a speciation event thus far. Given this, what factors could lead to a speciation event for this population?

How would you know that a population had divided into two different species (macroevolution)? How could you test for a speciation event experimentally?
