V. POPULATION GENETICS
• Population Genetics
 The study of genetic changes in populations

V. POPULATION GENETICS, cont
• Hardy-Weinberg Principle
– Predicts ______________________
____________________ in a nonevolving population; that is, a
population in ___________________
– Can be used to determine if a
population is evolving
– States that allele frequencies in a
population will remain constant from
generation to generation if _________
conditions are met
V. POPULATION GENETICS, cont
• Five Conditions for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
• If any of these conditions are not met, evolutionary
change will occur
V. POPULATION GENETICS, cont
• Hardy-Weinberg Equation
________________________
(think phenotype)
• p = dominant phenotype (AA or Aa)
• q = recessive phenotype (aa)
________________________
• p2 = % of AA as a decimal
• 2pq = % of Aa as a decimal
• q2 = % of aa as a decimal
(think genotype)
V. POPULATION GENETICS, cont
Hardy-Weinberg Practice Problems
1. If you know that you have 16% recessive fish (bb), calculate the
frequency of each genotype using Hardy-Weinberg

2. If in a population of 1,000, 90 show recessive phenotype (aa), use
Hardy-Weinberg to determine frequency of allele combinations.
VI. MICROEVOLUTION
• A change in the ____________________ of a population over a
succession of generations

VI. MICROEVOLUTION, cont
Changes in the gene pool due to_______________.
More commonly seen in ____________ population sizes.
Usually reduces genetic variability.
There are _________ situations that can drastically reduce population size:
 ___________________________: type of genetic drift resulting from a reduction in
population (natural disaster) such that the surviving population is no longer genetically
representative of the original population
 ___________________________: type of genetic drift attributed to colonization by a
limited number of individuals from a parent population; Gene pool is different than source
population
• Gene Flow
VI. MICROEVOLUTION
 Genetic exchange due to the migration of __________ individuals or gametes
between populations
 Tends to reduce differences between populations
• Natural Selection
 Differential success in _________________________

evolution; budding of new
species from a parent species
that continues to exist
Basis of biological diversity
VIII. MACROEVOLUTION
• Biological Species Concept
 Ernst Mayr - 1942
 ‘Working Definition of a Species’ - population
or group of populations whose members have
the potential to interbreed and produce viable,
fertile offspring, but cannot produce viable
fertile offspring with members of other species
 AKA….. similar organisms that can make
babies that can make babies 
 Can be difficult to apply to certain organisms…
• Reproductive Isolation
o Prevents closely related species from interbreeding when their ranges overlap.
o 2 types
Prezygotic - _______________________________________________
Postzygotic - ______________________________________________
