Document Summary

Geneic variaion geneic diferences among individuals in a populaion at a paricular point in ime: advanced sequencing technipques allow geneic variaion to be studied directly in dna molecules, diferent results of each organism. Meiosis produces the gametes necessary for sexual reproducion. Features of gametes: they only have half as much geneic material ( from mom, from dad, they are geneically varied through crossing over, with each containing a unique combinaion of alleles. Alleles 2 genes that lie on the same loci of 2 homologous chromosomes. Geneic shuling process of recombining the gene sequences to generate new paricular desired characterisics. Micro evoluion small-scale (within a single populaion); changes in frequency in a populaion from one generaion to the next. Macro evoluion large-scale evoluion; the decent of diferent species from a common ancestor over many generaions. The gal pagos islands helped shape darwin"s original ideas.
