Document Summary

Define and explain the effects of each of the four forces of evolution. Stabilizing natural selection and directional natural selection. The modern synthesis- how does one reconcile the theory of natural selection with. Mendelian genetics? zoology and paleontology, darwin"s concept of natural. Selection and struggled with how variation is maintained, not blending, mendel. Believed you could get this or this, but darwin saw that you could get tons of variation. Modern synthesis combines the fields, phenotypes affect genes, and cause variation, environment plays a role in how genes are expressed. Blending inheritance (darwin"s problem) and particulate inheritance (mendel"s solution) Meiosis and the chromosomal basis of inheritance. Mendel"s laws of segregation and independent assortment. Be able to compute genotype frequencies and gene and allele frequencies using the. Hamilton"s rule- rb>c if there"s an altruistic action then there"s a reaction against you. a cost c= cost, b=the partners benefit if that benefit is multiplied by relatedness.
