BIOL 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Genetic Drift, Planaria, Mutation
Document Summary
Determine which mechanism of evolution best describes a given scenario. Interpret data in the form of tables or graphs. Genetic change in a population or species over generations. Biological evolution accounts for the combination of unity and diversity of life: The history of life is a saga of constantly changing earth billions of years old. Individuals do not evolve; populations evolve over time. A process in which organisms with certain inherited characteristics are more likely to survive and reproduce than are organisms with other characteristics; unequal reproductive success. A process in which organisms with certain inherited characteristics are selected by humans- people take the place of the environment and choose which populations are affected. Form of natural selection in which individuals choose partner based on certain preferred traits. Females can be choosy when it comes to this (who they reproduce with, when they reproduce, how many times they reproduce)
