Chapter 17 Evolution of Populations
Chapter 17 Introduction Section 17.1 (Genes and Variations) How do genes make evolution possible? Section 17.2 (Evolution as Genetic Change in Populations) What causes a populations gene pool to change? Section 17.3 (The process of Speciation) How do new species form? Section 17.4 (Molecular Evolution) What can genes tell us about an organism s evolutionary history?
Essential Question How can populations evolve to form new species?
Learning Objective(s) 17.1 I will be able to explain the main sources of genetic variation in a population 17.2 I will be able to determine allele frequencies given population data. 17.3 I will be able to explain how natural selection affects single gene and polygenic traits. 17.4 I will be able to explain different mechanisms of speciation

Section 17.1 Genes and Variations
Genetics & Evolution Genotype Genetic makeup (e.x. Bb, Rr) Phenotype Physical characteristics of an organism (e.x. brown fur, red petals) pg. 482-483
Genetics & Evolution Populations Group of individuals of the same species living in the same area. Gene Pool All the genes present in a population. pg. 483
Genetic Variations Mutations Change in the genetic material. Genetic Recombination in Sexual Reproduction Independent assortment during meiosis. 23 pairs of chromosomes = 8.4 million gene combinations. Lateral Gene Transfer Exchanging of genes from one organism to another. pg. 484-485
Traits Single Gene Traits Traits controlled by only one gene. Polygenic Traits Traits controlled by two or more genes. pg. 485

Lab Protective Coloration: Review your data worksheet. Finalize concepts with group. Complete the graph and questions.
Section 17.2 Evolution as Genetic Change in Populations
Natural Selection Single Gene Traits: Can lead to changes in allele frequencies. Leads to changes in phenotype frequency. pg. 488
Natural Selection Polygenic Traits: Affects the relative fitness of phenotypes. Produces on of three types of fitness: Directional Selection Stabilizing Selection Disruptive Selection pg. 488-489
Polygenic Traits Directional Selection: Individuals at either end are more fit. Shifts because some are more successful at survival. Stabilizing Selection: Average individuals have higher fitness. Disruptive Selection: Individuals at the outer ends are more fit. Can create two distinct phenotypes. pg. 489
Section 17.3 Process of Speciation
Mechanisms of Speciation Reproductive Isolation: Two population become reproductively isolated & can no longer breed. Leads to new species. Develops in a variety of ways: Behavioral Isolation Geographic Isolation Temporal Isolation pg. 495
Mechanisms of Speciation Behavioral Isolation: Differences in courtship rituals or other behaviors. Geographic Isolation: Separated by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, or bodies of water. Temporal Isolation Two or more species reproduce at different times. pg. 495
