1.1. Explain how the terms Explain how the terms traittrait, , genegene, and , and alleleallele are related. are related.
2.2. What is genetic drift and what types of What is genetic drift and what types of populations are affected?populations are affected?
3.3. Give an example of an isolating Give an example of an isolating mechanism which could result in mechanism which could result in speciation.speciation.
Relative (allelic) frequency Relative (allelic) frequency - the percentage of - the percentage of a particular allele in a gene pool. a particular allele in a gene pool.

Gene pool - Gene pool - all the genes that all the genes that exist within a populationexist within a population
Genes and VariationGenes and Variation
Gene flow – Gene flow – movement of alleles into movement of alleles into or out of a populationor out of a population
Immigration – new alleles move INImmigration – new alleles move IN
Emigration – alleles move OUTEmigration – alleles move OUT
Genetic drift Genetic drift - change - change in allelic frequencies in allelic frequencies by chanceby chance
Ex: sudden extinction of Ex: sudden extinction of a dominant species; a dominant species; small populations small populations most affectedmost affected
Genetic equilibrium Genetic equilibrium - when alleles stay the same - when alleles stay the same from generation to generationfrom generation to generation
The Hardy Weinberg Principle: Allele The Hardy Weinberg Principle: Allele frequencies will remain constant under five frequencies will remain constant under five conditionsconditions

Hardy-Weinberg EquationHardy-Weinberg Equation(p + q)(p + q)22 = 1, which is the same as = 1, which is the same as
pp22 + 2pq + q + 2pq + q22 = 1 = 1
p = frequency of “A” allele and p = frequency of “A” allele and q = frequency of “a” alleleq = frequency of “a” allele

Divergent Evolution Divergent Evolution (adaptive radiation)(adaptive radiation)
Divergent evolutionDivergent evolution – natural selection – natural selection causes 1 species to evolve into many causes 1 species to evolve into many species with many different adaptations species with many different adaptations (homologous structures)(homologous structures)
After mass extinctions, many environments will After mass extinctions, many environments will be open for inhabitationbe open for inhabitation
Species will migrate to that area and new Species will migrate to that area and new environmental pressures will cause the environmental pressures will cause the population to change over timepopulation to change over time

Convergent EvolutionConvergent Evolution
Convergent EvolutionConvergent Evolution – when unrelated – when unrelated organisms come to resemble one another organisms come to resemble one another (analagous structures)(analagous structures)
CoevolutionCoevolution

Homologous structures Homologous structures - similar structures - similar structures found in related organisms that are adapted found in related organisms that are adapted for different purposes. for different purposes.
