MALTHUS
"essay on the principle of population"

survival of the fittest
economist
social status
HUXLEY
inspired science fiction
connection between apes and humans
anatomy, paleontology, professor
WALACE
also had the idea of natural selection
co presented with darwin to science organization
"ORIGIN OF SPECIES"
DArwin published in in 1859
most preferred
LAMARCKISM
population variation
provieds flexibility of response to changed condition. If variation is absent then the species has ferwe portions
scienctists at the time supported BLENDING INHERITANCE
Concept that 100 % of each parents heritable material is transferred to the offspring, blending together
Blending inheritance would result in
a loss of variation
MENDEL
"Principles of Heredity" 1866, with pea plants!!! first geneticist. 7 traits WERE identified, 2 phenotype variation
phenotype
physical variation
dominant phenotype
more common physical variation
recessive phenotype
less common physical variation
Genes
the basic unit of inheritance
Allele
alternative form of a gene; alleles are paired ( one from each parent)
genotype
the combo of alleles for a gene
phenotype
physical expression of the genotype
A
dominant
a
recessive
HOMOZYGOUS
both alleles are the same (AA or aa)
HOMOZYGOUS DOMINANT
AA
HOMOZYGOUS RECESSIVE
aa
Dominant pheontype
Genotypes AA and Aa
Recessive phenotype
Genotypes aa
Mendelian Heredity
Maintains variation opposite of blending heredity
Law of independent assortment
genes controlling different traits are inherited independently of one another. as long as on different chromosomes (mutually exclusive)
answer to Darwins unsolved question
genres are the source of the phenotypic variation upon which natural selection operates
mendelian traits are simple traits
under the control of one gene
either present or absent (hitchhiker thumb), but some Mendelian tratis have variable expressivity (example extra digit)
Y chromosome
differentiates a growing embryo into a make
Hemophilia
x linked recessive trait
XAXA
Homozygous dominant
XAXa
heteroxygous, carrier does not express the trait but CAN pass it to children

Homoxygous recessive
Males
hemi- half, hemizygous
XAy
Hemizygous Dominant
Xay
hemizygous recessive (express harmful trait)

was rooted in the belief that the "survival of the fittest" justified social inequality

Mayr
replaced typological with biological

argued against orthogenesis
joining natural selection with genetic heredity
giving us modern evolutionary theory
HARDY-WEINBERG
equilibrium theorem concerns a biological impossibility, a population in which NO evolution occurs
conditions needed for no evolution
infinite population size
no emigration out of the population and no immigration in the population
no mutation
all mating is random
no differential reproduction( no natural selection
Genetic drift
occurs to emigration and or immigration
mutation
the source of entirely new genetic variation
Forces of evolution
genetic drift
gene flow
mutation
nonrandom (selective mating)
natural selection
genetic drift
Genetic drift
involves random changes in allele and or genotype frequencies from one generation to the next, with greater effect in SMALL population
Genetic drift subsets
founder effect
bottle- necking
founder effect
accumulation of random genetic changes in a very small population isolated from its original population
bottle-necking
dramatic loss of genetic diversity (usually due to natural disaster)individuals eliminated new group doesn't have same genetic distribute
gene flow
movement of genes between populations, expanding populations
sexual selection
subset of natural selection
results in selective mating
sexual selection
male competition
orrr female choice
sexual dimorphism
physicla differneces in adult males and females of the same species (excluding reproductive organs)
