Document Summary
Change in gene frequencies from one generation to the next. The change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection. Based on the idea that all species are related and gradually change over time. Animals were created at the same time and strove towards an ideal form. Humans domesticating and selectively breeding plants and animals. Darwin"s postulates for his evolutionary mechanism: there is a struggle for existence, there is variation in features related to survival and reproduction, this variation is passed from generation. Make evolution by means of natural selection inevitable. Important regarding variation being passed generation to generation. He couldn"t explain the source of new variation. Traits from the mother and father would blend together. >genes are inherited, one from mom and one from dad. P= % dominant alleles q= % recessive alleles. If genotype frequencies are the same as those predicted by the h-w model.
