Document Summary

El nina -> harder seeds -> finches w/ bigger beaks survived better. Avg beak size of surviving indivi + progeny inc. El nino -> smaller seeds ->smaller beaks survive better. Capacity of pop to rsp to changes in env. Traits of indivi w/in pop = continually adjusted to changes in env. Indivi w/ particular makeup prod greater # of offspring. Some variations of genes will be passed on to future generations more freq vs. others. Pop evo + indivi rsps enable species to adapt to cond of its env. Phenotype = outward expression of an indivi"s genotype. Phenotype = outward expression of genotype in indivi"s structure + function. Rendering/expression of genotype in form of an org. Genetic makeup of indivi sets limits on phenotype expression. Phenotypic traits have genetic basis + influenced by variations in env. Behavioral + physiological rsps of indivi to exhibit diff rsps to env. Alleles = diff forms of a particular gene.

Suppose a starting population contained six individuals. Each pair of individuals had a different genetic makeup (genotype) from the others (genotypes: G-1, G-2, and G-3). The genotypes vary with respect to reproductive rate and offspring survival. Suppose G-1 has 8 offspring that survive to reproduce, G-2 produces only 4 surviving offspring over its lifespan, and G-3 leaves 12 surviving offspring.

a) If the average individual produces 8 offspring by the end of its lifespan, will the reproductive differences among genotypes alter the population growth rate?

b) How would the reproductive differences among genotypes alter the genetic composition of the population by T9? And by T500? (Assuming at T0 we start with one individual of each genotype.)

c) Suppose that the genotypes have the same birth rates as shown above at low density, but genotypes 1 and 3 experience greater effects of density dependence on birth rate than 2. What might happen to the relative frequency of this genotype by T500?

When the frequency changes in the next generation - is it because individuals with the less fit phenotype change to the more fit phenotype before reproducing? Or is it because individuals with the less fit phenotype, on average, contribute fewer offspring to the next generation?
