Section 1 Genetic Equilibrium
Objectives
• Identify traits that vary in populations and that may be studied.
• Explain the importance of the bell curve to population genetics.
• Compare three causes of genetic variation in a population.
• Calculate allele frequency and phenotype frequency.
• Explain Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium.
Chapter 16
Section 1 Genetic Equilibrium
Variation of Traits Within a Population
• Population biologists study many different traits in
populations, such as size and color.

Section 1 Genetic Equilibrium
Variation of Traits Within a Population,

• Causes of Variation
– Traits vary and can be mapped along a bell
curve, which shows that most individuals have
average traits, whereas a few individuals have
extreme traits.
– Variations in genotype arise by mutation,
recombination, and the random pairing of
gametes.
Chapter 16
Section 1 Genetic Equilibrium
The Gene Pool
• The total genetic information available in a population
is called the gene pool.
Chapter 16
Section 1 Genetic Equilibrium
The Gene Pool, continued
• Allele frequency is determined by dividing the total
number of a certain allele by the total number of
alleles of all types in the population.
Chapter 16
Section 1 Genetic Equilibrium
The Gene Pool, continued
• Predicting Phenotype
– Phenotype frequency is equal to the number of
individuals with a particular phenotype divided by
the total number of individuals in the population.
Chapter 16
Section 1 Genetic Equilibrium
The Hardy-Weinberg Genetic Equilibrium
• Allele frequencies in the gene pool do not change
unless acted upon by certain forces.
• Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium is a
theoretical model of a population in which no
evolution occurs and the gene pool of the population
is stable.

Section 2 Disruption of Genetic
Equilibrium
Objectives
• List five conditions under which evolution may take place.
• Explain how migration can affect the genetics of populations.
• Explain how genetic drift can affect populations of different sizes.
• Contrast the effects of stabilizing selection, directional selection,
and disruptive selection on populations over time.
• Identify examples of nonrandom mating.

Section 2 Disruption of Genetic
Equilibrium
Mutation
• Evolution may take place when populations are
subject to genetic mutations, gene flow, genetic drift,
nonrandom mating, or natural selection.
• Mutations are changes in the DNA.
Chapter 16
Section 2 Disruption of Genetic
Equilibrium
Gene Flow
• Emigration and immigration cause gene flow
between populations and can thus affect gene
frequencies.
Chapter 16
Section 2 Disruption of Genetic
Equilibrium
Genetic Drift
• Genetic drift is a change in allele frequencies due to
random events.
• Genetic drift operates most strongly in small
populations.
Chapter 16
Section 2 Disruption of Genetic
Equilibrium
Nonrandom Mating
• Mating is nonrandom whenever individuals may
choose partners.
Chapter 16
Section 2 Disruption of Genetic
Equilibrium
Nonrandom Mating, continued
• Sexual Selection
– Sexual selection occurs when certain traits
increase an individual’s success at mating.
– Sexual selection explains the development of
traits that improve reproductive success but that
may harm the individual.
Chapter 16
Section 2 Disruption of Genetic
Equilibrium
Natural Selection
• Natural selection can influence evolution in one of
three general patterns.
Chapter 16
Section 2 Disruption of Genetic
Equilibrium
Natural Selection, continued
• Stabilizing Selection
– Stabilizing selection favors the formation of
average traits.
Chapter 16
Section 2 Disruption of Genetic
Equilibrium
Natural Selection, continued
• Disruptive Selection
– Disruptive selection favors extreme traits rather
than average traits.
Chapter 16

Equilibrium

• Directional Selection
– Directional selection favors the formation of
more-extreme traits.

Section 3 Formation of Species
Objectives
• Relate the biological species concept to the modern definition of
species.
• Explain how the isolation of populations can lead to speciation.
• Compare two kinds of isolation and the pattern of speciation
associated with each.
• Contrast the model of punctuated equilibrium with the model of
gradual change.

Section 3 Formation of Species
The Concept of Species
• According to the biological species concept, a
species is a population of organisms that can
successfully interbreed but cannot breed with other
groups.
Chapter 16
Section 3 Formation of Species
Isolation and Speciation
• Geographic Isolation
– Geographic isolation results from the separation
of population subgroups by geographic barriers.

speciation.

• Sympatric Speciation
– Reproductive isolation within the same geographic
area is known as sympatric speciation.
Chapter 16
Section 3 Formation of Species
Rates of Speciation
• In the gradual model of speciation (gradualism),
species undergo small changes at a constant rate.
• Under punctuated equilibrium, new species arise
abruptly, differ greatly from their ancestors, and then
change little over long periods.
