Document Summary
Changes in the allele frequencies that occur over time within a population. Population: a group of interbreeding individuals of the same species sharing a common geographic area. Each member of that population has 2 alleles for that given gene. One maternal and one paternal cause we are diploid. Gene pool: the sum of all alleles in a population at a particular time. We often assume random mating within a population. In many cases there may be no random mating within the same geographic area because of factors like preferences, personality, religious reasons, linguistic, other forms of isolation, etc. However, remember that in many cases, there is no random mating among individuals living in the same geographical area, due to: Kind of like in typical punnett square shows the genotypes outcome of a cross (mating) Depends on possible combinations of gametes transmitted by each parent.
