Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
|
p2 + 2pq + q2= 1.0
|
|
|
Hardy said the gene frequency (genotypes and allele frequency) would remain the same as long as____,____,____,____.
|
the population is large, there is no mutation, no enmigration, and no inmigration.
|
|
|
Hardy Weinberg equilibrium is true unless
|
there is evolution
|
|
|
systematically reduced genetic (organismic) biological evolution
|
is a change in gene (or allele) genotype freqeuencies in a population over generations
|
|
|
organic revolution
|
change in the frequency of inherited trait in a population over generations.
|
|
|
three broad levels of organic evolution
|
microevolution, speciation, macroevolution
|
|
|
microevolution
|
change in allele frequencies or chromosome segment frequencies or chromosome number frequencies in a population over generations
|
e.g. mosquito population more resistant to DDT
|
|
speciation
|
formation of a new species.
|
|
|
In animal species, (at least) speciation most commonly occurs by
|
allopatric speciation.
|
|
|
allopatric populations
|
have non overlapping geographic areas
|
|
|
sympatric populations
|
have overlapping geographic ranges
|
e.g. all of the trees at B.I.L Hill
|
|
peripatric populations
|
have barely overlapping geographic ranges.
|
|
|
How does allopatric speciation begin?
|
when some member(s) of a population becoming geographically separated from the rest of the population. i.e., dispersal and colonization as a founder event, or formation of a geographic barrier through a population becoming geographically separated from the rest of the group.
|
|
|
sympatric speciation
|
new species is produced without geographic separation, and populations become ecologically separated in some general geographic area.
|
|
|
what are two types of mechanisms of reproductive isolation?
|
pre-zygotic and post zygotic
|
|
|
what does it mean when species are reproductively isolated?
|
a collection of mechanisms, behaviors, and physiological processes that prevent two different species that mate from producing offspring, or which ensure that any offspring produced is not fertile
|
members of the different species do not normally mate and produce viable offspring.
|
|
viable
|
fertile
|
|
|
what results in reproductive isolation?
|
speciation can occur if the gene frequency changes in populations over generations.
|
|
|
polyploidy
|
changes in the number of chromosome sets.
|
|
|
Charles Darwin’s birthday
|
19 February, 1809
|
|
|
prezygotic-mechanisms
|
mechanisms that block reproduction from taking place by preventing fertilization
|
e.g.,Ecological isolation, Mechanical isolation, temporal isolation, behavioral isolation, gametic isolation
|
|
Ecological isolation
|
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because they live in different habitats in the same area.
|
e.g., copepod, ectoparasites of flatfish
_Lepeophtheirus thompsoni_ on turbot _L. europaeus_ on brill |
|
Mechanical isolation
|
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because of incompatible reproductive structures
|
e.g., millipedes e.g., monkey flowers (genus mimulus) |
|
Temporal isolation
|
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because reproductive times differ
|
e.g., Gryllus pennsylvanicus fall field cricket e.g. G. Voletis spring field cricket |
|
Behavioral isolation
|
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because of different reproduction/courtship rituals
|
e.g., white-throated sparrow
e.g., white-crowned sparrow by singing e.g., blue-footed boobies have to kick stomp and flaunt their feet. |
|
Gametic isolation
|
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because of incompatible sperm cells/ egg cells
|
e.g. sea urchins e.g. sorghum |
|
Post-zygotic mechanisms
|
a mechanism that blocks reproduction after fertilization and zygote formation
|
i.e., hybrid inviability (mortality)/hybrid sterility |
|
hybrid inviability (mortality)
|
a situation in which a mating between two individuals creates a hybrid that does not survive past the embryonic stage
|
e.g., North American Mink e.g., European Mink e.g., sorghum |
|
hybrid sterility
|
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because hybrid offspring of fertile individuals is inviable.
|
e.g., male/hinny (mares jack 64) (hinny*stallion 62)=63 chromosomes |
