ANTH 1001 Chapter : Chapter 4 Population Genetics
Document Summary
Darwin predicted that a population"s phenotype can change over time. Each member of gene pair segregates during the production of gametes. We can explain mendel"s laws as the outcome of meiosis. We know that meiosis shuffles variation into new combinations. We know that genes are made of dna. We know how genes are translated into proteins, which control our phenotype. (wh. We know that mutations are constantly introducing new alleles into a population"s g. Is the change in allele frequency over time. Individuals do not evolve only populations and species do. (over time) Phenotype frequency: the percentage of individuals in a population that exhibits a given p. Genotype frequency: the percentage of individuals in a population that exhibits a given gen. Allele frequency: the percentage of each allele in a population. Gene pool - the collection of alleles present in a population (all possible alleles all the time.
