Document Summary

Lecture 6: all along the ivory tower: the modern synthesis of evolution and punctuated equilibrium. Focus: further development of the modern synthesis and look at punctuated equilibrium as an alternative explanation for some evolutionary patterns. Every dna is made up of two strings: each string is made up of a bunch of connected nucleotides, there are four types of nucleotides in dna molecules (adenine, Cytosine: each nucleotide has an end of phosphate and sugar, phosphate connects to sugar, dna is just a chain of phosphate sugar-> makes up one string, adenine links with thymine, guanine links with cytosine. Dna is basically a ladder of phosphate, sugar and nucleotide steps twisted into a double helix. If living things are their genes, natural populations are gene pools that contain variation frequencies: reproductive isolation leads to speciation by allowing populations to evolve independently (darwin) There are four great isms that are central to this model.
